IN BRIEF
Björn Kern
Einmal noch Marseille
Verlag C.H. Beck, 2005, 128 pp.
In a novel that eschews any sensationalism or theorizing the quiet precise prose tells the story of a slow, terminal illness. Humour and poetry leaven the whole. A son learns of his mother’s impending death and a family that has never been united or known mutual understanding draw ever closer in what is a heart-warming surprise read. A novel about coping and a remarkably brave, spirited figure, this book will make you laugh, cry and ponder. Well worth a look.
