Inhaltsangabe
With the end of the world predicted, reality bends in an unexpectedly quirky novel about human connection and the meaning of life and death by the bestselling author of Sorry I Missed You.
Marlen and Hilda Jorgensen’s family has received two significant pieces of news: one, Marlen has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. Two, a cosmic blast is set to render humanity extinct within a matter of months. It seems the coming Christmas on their Saskatchewan farm could be their last.
Preparing for the inevitable, they navigate the time they have left together. Marlen and Hilda have channeled their energy into improbably prophetic works of art. Hilda’s elderly father receives a longed-for visitor from his past. Hilda’s teenaged nephew goes missing, and his mother refuses to believe the world is ending. All the while, Hilda’s daughter struggles to find her way home from Berlin with the help of an oddly familiar stranger. For everyone, there’s an unsettling feeling that this unprecedented reality is something they remember.
As the planet holds its collective breath to see what happens next amid chaos, denial, acceptance, and hope, this one family determines to live every moment as if it’s their last. Because, well, it just might be.
Kritikerstimmen
“I Think We’ve Been Here Before is a rare gem of a book, the kind that instantly inspires you to sit up and pay attention, because something special is unfolding on the page. I don’t know what I loved most—the memorable characters, gripping premise, insightful prose, or nearly perfect ending. Suzy Krause writes with a magical touch.”—Jessica Strawser, USA Today bestselling author of The Last Caretaker
“I was utterly captivated and entirely entertained by Suzy Krause’s brilliantly original, surprisingly uplifting, witty, and suspenseful third novel. Filled with poignant observations about life from characters who are speeding toward the end of the world, I Think We’ve Been Here Before is about learning it’s never too late to discover what’s most important.”—Meredith Schorr, author of Someone Just Like You
“I Think We’ve Been Here Before is a propulsive, sweet, and emotional journey from beginning to end. Suzy Krause has delivered a novel that, with the turning of each subsequent page, reveals the beating, soulful heart at the center of this magical and thought-provoking story. It’s like looking at the end of the world while wearing rose-colored glasses.”—Paul Davidson, author of The Small Stuff and Company of Foos
