Emotion, Hamburg
»This is a book to open wide awake and to read in one session.«
Uwe Sauerwein
Berliner Morgenpost
»It's a compelling narrative perspective that Esther Schüttpelz employs to involve us in the inner monologue of this woman, virtually facilitated by the route diversions.«
Susanne Zobel
News, Vienna
»In a subtle way, Esther Schüttpelz inweaves hideous topics of our time, such as domestic violence.«
Frankfurter Rundschau
»An intense yet down-to-earth book […]. The author has a good sense of pace which gets increased at times and decreased at others.«
Tilman Spreckelsen
Frankfurter Allgemeine
»The insight that you cannot carry on the way you used to, has rarely been approached and narrated with such grotesque humour, despite the seriousness.«
Eva Menasse
(Author of Darkenbloom)
»Green Wave is a captivating feat: a protagonist who has always lied to herself nevertheless tells us the whole truth.«
Cornelia Geißler
Berliner Zeitung
»The book is incredibly timely.«
Markus Steinmayr
Der Freitag, Berlin
»With ease, Schüttpelz manages to shape the material she presents into a form that corresponds to her narrative. This is rare in contemporary literature.«
