Juno spends her days helping her seriously ill husband Jupiter cope with daily life. She is also an artist, and dances and acts. And she spends her nights, on the frequent occasions when she can't sleep, chatting to love scammers on the internet. Martina Hefter has written a moving novel about needs and desires. And about how far we are prepared to go for love. A whirlwind journey through cyberspace and the inexorable march of aging – and the eternal yearning to remain youthful – infused with subtle sadness and poignant nostalgia.

»This cutting-edge novel, groundbreaking both in its form and the themes it explores, touches upon the profound and the universal alike. Martina Hefter's fiction poses central questions to European readers, addressing them in all their facets.« Jury statement PRIX GRAND CONTINENTAL 2024
