The Family Grave

Love’s story continues! At the end of a fairy tale, they usually write that after the wedding the heroes lived happily ever after. But what was it really like—and what did that happiness look like? Désirée and Benny got married despite the contradictions that kept separating them. Désirée was forced to say goodbye to city life and spends whole days running the household. Benny fiddles around in the barn. Now they have three children, absolutely no money, and worries fill their mouths. Yet they love each other and are ready to overcome every difficulty together. But will their love be enough to handle everything?… The sequel to “The Boy from the Next Grave” is even more ironic and realistic. Masetti writes easily and, at the same time, mercilessly about the hardships of everyday life, the lack of money, the shortcomings of the social system, and the relationship between two people who, of course, love each other—but are so exhausted they simply can’t remember it. Bitter, funny, and infinitely optimistic, in the performances of celebrity readers: Tutta Larsen, Oskar Kuchera, and Natalia Rusinova.
