What makes up a bond? How does memory work? Ananke dies young after a short illness and leaves an unbearable gap in her circle of friends. In the weeks after her death, powerless, they grieve and conjure up memories of their time together: childhood and youth, the close bond of the whole group, beautiful summers, the first conflicts. They search desperately for a way out of their paralysis and do not find one. In short fragments of now and then, set apart on the page, the novel contrasts the grieving friends with the shimmering world of good memories, made a little remote by unfamiliar, gender-neutral first names.
