Hier ist alles sicher

A rift runs through a family. And a rift runs through a country.

"Come to Israel, Mom." Lydia has long ignored her stepson's cry for help, and when she finally arrives, it is too late. Immanuel is dead. Suicide. She embarks on a desperate search, wanting to understand him and, in doing so, the country that was supposed to be a refuge. Against the backdrop of the Israeli-Arab conflict, a thrilling road trip begins, delving deep into the structures and wounds of entire generations. Rich in atmosphere and with a distinctive literary voice, Anneleen Van Offel portrays the difficulty of acting rightly under the wrong circumstances. A novel about love, longing, loss, death, and grief, and at the same time a poignant ode to life.
