Finally, the new novel by Ewald Arenz is here! In Five, Six, Seven, Eight, the bestselling author of works such “The Grand Summer” and “Tasting Sunlight”, returns in top form: The book centers on 60-year-old Anton. When he is passed over for a choreography job in favor of his daughter Emma, he can no longer suppress the feeling he is getting old. Suddenly, he questions whether he has lived his life right and his thoughts turn to Jo, a great love from long ago. Would he have lived a better life with her? Emma picks up Jo’s trail and father and daughter travel together to Ireland. For Anton, it becomes a journey back to himself. He realizes: nothing is over until it’s over. Until then, life is meant to be lived.
