Laufen

A woman runs back to life. After a devastating loss, she believes she has reached the end of her strength. Yet, she begins to run. Her laps grow longer week by week – and what starts as a way to escape ultimately becomes a path back to life. Always by her side: her friends, her anger, her love for music, and a humor that can match her despair. “I run away my overthinking; other people supposedly run because they can think well while doing it, but I can’t think of anything other than my body, whether it works, how it works, how running feels, whether I can still do it, and if so, how far, and whether something hurts right now, or what hurts the most, as if I didn’t know what hurts the most, but while running, my body finally hurts.” After the bestseller "The Peacock," Isabel Bogdan shows with this touching yet humorous novel what it means to heal in body and soul.
