A chorus of lives intersecting beyond death.

"The Field" brings a poignant exploration of existence through voices that no longer walk among us. It's a touching mosaic of memories, each unique and deeply human, composing the narrative of an entire community. Imagine a book where the past echoes alongside the present, stitching together the fabric of an entire town through whispers from beyond the veil; that's the haunting beauty of Seethaler's writing.

Description

From Robert Seethaler, the International Booker Prize finalist for A Whole Life and bestselling author of The Tobacconist, comes a tale of life and death and human connection, told through the voices of those who have passed on.The Field is the oldest part of the cemetery in Paulstadt, where some of the small town's most outspoken residents can be found. From their graves, they tell stories. Some recall just a moment -- perhaps the one in which they left this world, perhaps the one they now realize changed the course of their life forever. Some remember all the people they've been with, or the only person they ever loved. This chorus of voices -- young, old, rich, poor -- builds a picture of a community, seen from below ground. The streets of the sleepy provincial town are given shape and meaning by those who lived, loved, worked, mourned, and died there.The Field is a constellation of human lives -- each one different yet connected to countless others -- that shows how existence, for all its fleetingness, still has profound meaning.
