Tilda ama las matemáticas y la natación, pero por encima de todo a su hermana, la pequeña y fantasiosa Ida. Su madre es alcohólica, su padre las abandonó hace tiempo y la vida de Tilda fluctúa entre sus estudios en la universidad, el trabajo de cajera en un supermercado, las labores domésticas y obligaciones familiares y los 22 largos que nada todos los dÃas en la piscina. Cuando un profesor le ofrece la posibilidad de realizar un doctorado en BerlÃn, empieza a vislumbrar por fin la libertad; pero antes de dar ese paso debe ayudar a Ida a valerse por sà misma. La tarea resulta ardua, porque la situación familiar está a punto de estallar, pero en ese momento aparece Viktor en la vida de Tilda, un chico solitario que, como ella, oculta una herida y nada 22 largos todos los dÃas. Su presencia provocará un vuelco en la historia de los tres. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A BOOKSTORE FAVORITE IN GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND
The luminous debut that has sold 160,000 copies and made it onto Der Spiegel and #BookTok's bestseller lists.
Winner of the Bavarian Book Prize, Ulla Hahn Author's Prize, and Family Novel Book Prize.
Tilda loves math and swimming, but most of all she loves her little sister, the daydreaming Ida. Their mother is an alcoholic, their father left long ago, and Tilda is left to juggle college classes and a job in a supermarket with housework and family obligations, while squeezing in time at the pool to swim 22 laps every day. Escape seems at hand when a professor offers Tilda the opportunity to enroll in a doctoral program in Berlin. Before she can take it, she must teach Ida to fend for herself, a task made even more complicated by mounting family tensions. Then she meets Viktor, a loner who, like her, swims laps every day and carries his own set of wounds. His arrival will send her life off its planned path.
