The Field

From their graves in the field, the oldest part of Paulstadt's cemetery, the town's late inhabitants tell stories from their lives. The acclaimed author of A Whole Life and The Tobacconist , the bestselling and Booker International-shortlisted Robert Seethaler tells the story of a town through the voices from its graveyard, a moving story about life and death and human connection. If the dead could speak, what would they say to the living?
