The colour of luck: a novel about arrival, love and mindfulness

The great themes of our lives: the pursuit of happiness, the search and finding of love, the role of chance, the sense of our existence – all are condensed into a linguistically overwhelming work in this wise, great novel. A wrong decision that changes the lives of three families forever: a judge forces nurse Charlotte to exchange his mortally sick newborn for a healthy. If she does not follow his threat, he deprives her of the care son. The world of all involved gets out of the joints, but behind everything the mysterious plan of life works. Can we find the right thing in the wrong life? How to open a new one? How to let go? With great linguistic power and grace, the author shows that everyone already carries their life card and everything is miraculously linked to each other. In this novel, everyone will find their color of happiness. “In some books you read a truth that fits into your own life so much that it immediately hits your heart and takes your breath – this book is full of these things.” Alexandra Reinwarth A wise, graceful novel. Clara Maria Bagus masters the art of healing narrative.” Nele Neuhaus No one has told so tender about happiness that grows out of misfortune. A feather-light yet psychologically refined journey into the magical realm of the soul. Sad and comforting at the same time. A great gift. Wolfgang Herles A wonderful novel about love and its many surprising appearances. Great composed, full of wisdom, emotionality and confidence. Rarely was I so grateful at the end of a book to have spent time with him.« Jean-Remy von Matt
