Martin R. Dean “A Piece of Heaven”
Do you like to deal with the supposedly big topics in life such as friendship and love or the benefits and limits of medical care? Then pick up “A Piece of Heaven” by Martin R. Dean.
An accident brings two friends together again after years: the doctor Florian Füssli and the artist Samuel Butt, who was paralyzed after a fall. Florian wants to lift up his friend and at the same time understand the reasons for their estrangement. While Samuel searches for meaning in life between exuberance and despair, the dutiful Florian torments himself with self-reproach. Both circle each other with questions: Why did Samuel fail as an artist? Is that really him? Why didn't Florian find happiness in love? How much is “half a life” worth? And what does that even mean? How do you deal with losses? And what actually happened in Rome back then? Everything comes to an end on a trip to Portugal. And the next step can mean doom or salvation.
