SINOPSE
Shortlisted for The Man Booker International Prize 2017
Sonja is an intelligent single woman in her 40s whose life lacks focus. The situation must change - but where to start? By learning to drive, perhaps. After all, how hard can it be? Very, as it turns out.
Six months in, Sonja is still baffled by the basics and her instructor is eccentric. Sonja is also struggling with an acute case of vertigo, a sister who won’t talk to her, and a masseuse who is determined to solve her spiritual problems. Frenetic city life is a constant reminder that every man (and woman) is an island: she misses her rural childhood where ceilings were high and the sky was endless. Shifting gears is not proving easy.
