Lucie in the clouds

Gabriel Bach is a successful novelist who is going through a life crisis. He lacks inspiration not only for a new book, but for life itself. While walking along the Elbe, he accidentally discovers an inflatable balloon caught in the bushes with a postcard on which a touching message is written in a child's handwriting. As Gabriel reads these lines, he finally gets an idea after a long time. What he doesn't know is that Lucia's wish has triggered an avalanche of unexpected events that will turn his life upside down, as well as that of little Lucia and her mother Miriam.

A kind novel for anyone who needs a dose of humanity, belonging and faith in goodness in today's complex and harsh world.
