Schöne Welt, Wo Bist Du by Sally Rooney

Alice, a successful novelist, and Eileen, her longtime friend, trade long emails and move through intertwined third-person scenes as they navigate romantic relationships, work, and the ethical anxieties of contemporary life; their entanglements with two very different men prompt questions about desire, honesty, art and political complicity as the book probes how friendship and intimacy endure — or falter — in a world that feels at once beautiful and precarious.
