About this listen
Bloomsbury presents What You Can See From Here by Mariana Leky, read by Kristin Atherton
'Manages something only a few books achieve: it makes you happy' Munich Mercury
'A clear-eyed tonic in troubled times' Guardian
On a beautiful spring day, a small village in Western Germany wakes up to an omen: Selma has dreamed of an okapi. Someone is about to die. But who?
As the residents of the village begin acting strangely (despite protestations that they are not superstitious), Selma's granddaughter Luise looks on as the imminent threat brings long carried secrets to the surface. And when death comes, it comes in a way none of them could have predicted...
A story about the absurdity of life and death, a bittersweet portrait of village life and the wider world that beckons beyond, What You Can See from Here is a story about the way loss and love shape not just a person, but a community.
The international bestseller which sold over 600,000 copies in Germany

Critic reviews
'I loved this novel truly, madly, deeply … I am jealous of all the new readers who will have the chance to discover Mariana Leky’s exciting new voice and the joy of meeting the fabulous ensemble she has conjured' (Nina George, author of THE BOOK OF DREAMS and THE LITTLE PARIS BOOKSHOP)
'As in life, What You Can See from Here reveals its significant players and their startling joys and losses, in patient, unexpected ways. A profound and beautiful novel' (Marie Helene-Bertino, author of PARAKEET)
'Effervescent, tender and realistically absurd – an utterly charming depiction of life, death, love, and the people who help us through it all. Exactly the kind of novel I am ever hoping to discover' (Juliet Grames, author of THE SEVEN OR EIGHT DEATHS OF STELLA FORTUNA)
