delfin

Blurb
On a beach, a dolphin meets its end. The people living in the lower and upper town are also confronted with endings of all kinds. There’s Nina, for example, who raises her son alone and struggles to maintain a home that is slowly but surely being consumed by the sea. Then there’s Milly, who attempts the impossible to suppress the loss of her life partner. When the two mismatched women meet in a small restaurant by the coast, an unexpected friendship blossoms from their loneliness. Together, they seem to face the waves of life and find comfort in the unthinkable. Yet, the end cannot be stopped. The question remains: What comes next?
“Dolphin” is a touching yet provocative novel. Author Ralf Bruggmann encapsulates highly relevant debates in poetic dialogues and inner monologues that leave nothing untouched. Not even – or rather especially – the essence of what it means to be human.
