A retired engineer reflects on art, memory, and loss in the vibrant cities of Bilbao and Leipzig.
Michael, a retired bridge engineer, lives alone in Bilbao after the death of his girlfriend, Catherine. Each day, he listens to two versions of the same piece of music and walks to the Guggenheim Museum to visit Richard Serra's installation. This literary fiction explores Michael's past projects, his adolescence, and his relationship with Catherine, marking the passage of time.
As Michael wanders through Bilbao, he contemplates electricity, porcelain, and a period of mental agitation in Leipzig. A Sabbatical in Leipzig is a compelling work of literary fiction that connects the void of rural Ireland with the new environments he built throughout Europe and India. This novel is for readers who appreciate character-driven stories, reflective themes, and European settings. Why buy now? Because it offers a unique perspective on life, loss, and the enduring power of memory.
