Kurt Weyrath causes a fatal accident and flees the scene. The only survivor, Anna Kainz, is in a coma. In order to be near her, Weyrath becomes an ambulance driver. The everyday confrontation with life and death changes his life.
When he finally finds her, he visits her daily for months, becomes her carer and brings her back from the dead so to speak. But Kurt does not know who the person is he is bringing back. Anna has her own history, her own world of destruction. This history leads them both to Florence and Paris, to Leonardo da Vinci’s paintings, and to a fight for life and death...
In his first novel Hotschnig writes in his very own mercilessly precise and artistic style. A novel of great intensity and suspense.
