About the book
A yoga teacher inadvertently solves a murder in which her students are involved. Milena Moser’s new novel lives up to her earlier great successes: vividly observed, grippingly and wittily told, the story entangles four people in a tragicomically furious life and love drama. Milena Moser’s characters never quite get a total grip on their lives; they are likeable, weird, and as accountable as our real next door neighbours – and their story is pure reading pleasure.
About the author
Milena Moser, who was born in Zurich in 1963, trained as a bookseller and then worked for Swiss Radio DRS and for newspapers before she found fame through her novels and short stories about life’s tragicomic vicissitudes. In 1990, she had her first collection of short stories published: Gebrochene Herzen oder Mein erster bis elfter Mord. In 1991, she had her first bestseller; Die Putzfraueninsel. Peter Timm’s film based on the novel won a prize. Milena Moser regularly writes columns for the Schweizer Familie magazine and runs a writing school together with Sibylle Berg and Anne Wieser.
