Description
"Will I get a crêpe? Their Nutella is always so perfectly melty." He said it like a child, and as he did, his crying got even heavier, his whole body trembling more noticeably."You're not the only one-I'll have one too. I can't go wrong eating whatever you choose.""But that's a lot of calories, Madame. Unhealthy carbs-your blood sugar spikes and then the insulin drops it right back down. Next thing you know, you're hungry again. And then, poof, you're fat." Even with his tear-stained face, he gave his little lecture with a hint of mock seriousness.She gave his ear another tug, though this time more gently than before.For a moment, he actually felt a flicker of amusement."I've known for a while now you're a little know-it-all.""I want two crêpes.""Then I'm getting two as well. No way you're getting more than me.""But that's not how nature intended it. As a man, I'm automatically higher up the hierarchy, so it only makes sense I get two and you get one." The ear-pulling grew steadily more forceful."Oh, really? Now I've got a little macho man on my hands, huh?"
Lukas is young, educated, and charismatic. Yet, the culture of physical presence and the stifling bureaucracy of his professional world take their toll. Following several breakdowns and suicide attempts, he seeks help in a clinic. There, he tries to describe who he is and what is tearing him apart. A chief physician, Amanda, enters his life: caring yet cold, and ultimately abusive. Amanda plans a journey together that brings Lukas into contact with a past full of shadows-and with unexpected allies who give everything they have to save him.
An authentic portrait of mental health struggles, specifically as they manifest within the modern world of work. A psychologically complex perpetrator-victim dynamic that gains intensity through thriller elements and dark romance undertones.
¿A highly topical contemporary novel for literary enthusiasts in general, and healthcare professionals and male readers in particular. The work weaves social-critical accents with narrative force, offering a gripping experience for book clubs that value intellectual resilience and psychological depth.
