Leap

An ordinary morning in an ordinary city. A somewhat abnormal woman stands on the roof of an apartment building. She shouts and throws pieces of tiles at the feet of numerous onlookers. The police suspect a suicide attempt. For a day, the city holds its breath. Time has stopped for Finn, who is in love with this woman. Likewise, for her sister Astrid, who is in the midst of an election campaign, and for eight other characters whose paths intersect with the story of the woman on the roof. Tomorrow, everyone will start a completely different life. An empathetic novel about ordinary people whom we often pass by indifferently. Witfully and sensitively, Simona Lappert narrates the fragile balance of our present.
