From a multi award-winning German novelist comes this finely nuanced and disarmingly funny novel about a woman who has lost sight of who she once was.
Mareike Krugel lives in Schleswig-Holstein with her husband and their two children. She has received numerous literary awards, including the Friedrich Hebbel Prize. Look at Me is her fourth novel, and the first to be translated into English.
‘For all the chaos of Katharina’s life and for all the humour of
her narrative voice, this well-written and surprisingly complex
novel has an unexpected gravitas.’
*Age*
‘Funny, moving and thought-provoking.’
*BookMooch*
‘A quirky ride that masterfully blends a sardonic sense of humour
with a deeply embedded fear of mortality.’
*Readings*
‘Definitely one of those “read in one sitting”, “hard to put down”
books.’
*Nudge Books*
‘Kat and her family are deeply flawed but likeable characters; you
want to cheer them on...A good read, suitable for long, dark
evenings.’
*Otago Daily Times*
‘An enjoyable and thought provoking read.’
*MindFood*
'With a heroine so well-realised she feels like a friend, and
piercingly true ruminations on the strange courses that life can
take, Look At Me is a wildly impressive English-language
debut.’
*Culturefly*
‘Full of whimsical inner monologues and snappy one liners.’
*Booklist*
‘Krügel knows her way around both the salty and sweet of marriage
and motherhood.’
*Kirkus Reviews*
‘A punchy and powerful novel… a moving denouement.’
*The Lady [UK]*
