Description
Join us on a journey to a Swiss border village from a hundred years ago: In Querfeldein, Alex Capus tells the story of Arnold, a young innkeeper whose inn brings people together with their hopes, secrets, and stories. Between green borders, major upheavals, and quiet moments, a novel about solidarity and the search for a place where one can find inner peace unfolds.
