After her son Michael’s fatal accident, Brigitte Weichmann’s life is falling apart at the seams. The pain, remorse and her need to understand what has happened drive her away from her husband Hans. In France, she travelled from town to town. Nowhere does she find peace—until she meets Christian in Dijon while attending a self-help group gathering. The enthusiastic bookseller has been divorced for six months and is suffering badly from the separation from his alcoholic wife Sylvie.
Once upon a time there was a small backpack with a fish on it. Once upon a time there was a little boy named Luka and a little girl named Dora. Once upon a time there was a rock in a small town by the croatian sea. The rest is history.
A story that saw the light of day 15 years ago and swept across the world like a tsunami.
Dora and Luka are inseparable: ever since he fainted at the sight of her – walking into the classroom with her new schoolbag – and she woke him with a chaste kiss, it has been love at first sight. ‘There’s something in the air when the two of them are together. You can’t call it calm, you can’t call it storm.’
