Die Kinder der Elefantenhüter

At first glance, the Finos from Denmark seem like an ordinary family: the father is a pastor, the mother plays the organ, and Peter's older brother studies astronomy. However, on Good Friday, the parents suddenly disappear, having previously found themselves in trouble with the law due to dubious miraculous acts. To protect their father and mother from further foolishness, Peter and his sister Tilte embark on a large-scale search operation. Amid false saints and fanatical seekers of meaning, they discover their own door to freedom and happiness. Peter Høeg's thrilling and fast-paced novel is an adventure full of cinematic scenes, contemporary references, and crazy ideas. The author of "Miss Smilla's Feeling for Snow" once again showcases his captivating storytelling talent.
