Was dir bleibt

Without notice, 76-year-old Gladys boards the Northlander train and disappears without a trace from her Canadian village. Over thousands of miles and on dozens of trains, she travels through the vastness of northern Canada, returning to the places of her childhood and talking to countless people along the way. But what exactly is she up to, what made her give up her well-established life - and above all: for what reason did she leave her needy daughter Lisana behind?

What You Are Left With is a novel of irrepressible vitality - the moving story of an enigmatic journey that leads through the forests of Canada and gets deep under your skin.
