About this book

Von der internationalen Bestseller-Autorin Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie ein ergreifendes Buch über den Tod ihres Vaters: »Trauer ist das Glück, geliebt zu haben«. Adichies Buch ist eine zutiefst persönliche Meditation über den Verlust ihres Vaters und zugleich eine Beschreibung der Lücke, die die Pandemie in das Leben von Millionen gerissen hat. Eindringlich schildert Adichie, was geschieht, wenn man wochen-, ja monatelang in Washington warten muss, um nach Nigeria reisen zu können und dort Abschied zu nehmen. Was geschieht, wenn die Familie nur in Video Calls versuchen kann, den Verlust aufzufangen, und der Körper vom Weinen wund wird? In der Einsamkeit der Ferne werden die Erinnerungen ungenau und die Sehnsucht nach Trost größer. Doch wer trauert, erfährt die Liebe neu.
