Zwischen zwei Meeren

The magic of dreams Every summer, Florian travels from Hamburg to Calabria to his mother's home village. Every summer Nonno Giorgio shows him the ruins of the old family hostel there, which he wants to rebuild. When the time has finally come, the 'Ndrangheta' is already standing in front of the door to offer him their "protection". Helplessly Florian watches as his grandfather, who has defended himself violently, is picked up by the police. But the old man has long since infected him with his crazy dream. "In his novel Carmine Abate atmospherically captures the heat of summer and the burning for a life dream." Brigitte "Fascinating, sensitive novel that poetically brings the shimmering landscape to life." Maxi.
