»In the end everything comes true, especially the parts that were made up.« A novel on the prophetic power of writing.

A storywriter is tasked to bring her serial for a women's magazine to a close with the next issue. Feverishly she sketches a final scenario, but then destroys the notes – not because they weren’t good enough, but because she is afraid they will come true.
What if the things she has written turn out to be biographical – not in a backwards sense, like looking back on life in a retrospective, but in the sense of fortune-telling, becoming real along the way? Does the narrator only exist in her story? And if so, is there a way of escaping it?
A highly literary novel about the relationship between reality and fiction, narration and memory – enthrallingly written, with a delicate use of language.
