Reading recommendation from Viktoria

“Rain” by Ferdinand von Schirach

Have you ever wondered how chance and decisions shape our lives? Then “Rain” is just the thing. Through a series of chance events and encounters, Ferdinand von Schirach confronts the question of how much control we have over our destiny.

In a precise and minimalist narrative style, Schirach explores themes such as chance, guilt and the importance of decisions. Ideal for summer because it’s profound, but in a way that brings you a lot of clarity even in quiet moments.

Why this book belongs on your summer reading list:

A profound look at fate and chance
Touching storytelling that makes you think
A literary experience for the summer

Reading tip from the COX team: make time this summer for books that open up new perspectives and make you think.
