Über diesen Titel

 “Patiently, and unflinchingly, Ackerman is becoming one of the great poet laureates of America’s tragic adventurism across the globe.” —Pico Iyer

Eden lies in a hospital bed, unable to move or speak. His wife Mary spends every day on the sofa in his room. We see them through the eyes of Eden’s best friend, a fellow Marine who didn’t make it back home—and who must relive the secrets held between all three of them as he waits for Eden to finally, mercifully die and join him in whatever comes after.

A breathtakingly spare and shattering novel that explores the unseen aftereffects—and unacknowledged casualties—of war, Waiting for Eden is a piercingly insightful, deeply felt meditation on loyalty, friendship, betrayal, and love.

“The Tim O’Brien of our era.” —Vogue

i found this really beautifully written and loved the narrating voice as the voice actor seems to know very very well how to modulate and phrase and everything else to get the book across. it's a joy to listen is what i'm saying. the book made me sad on numerous occasions and i found it a very profound story about grief and letting go. bonus is that the author actually deployed to Afghanistan so the military lingo feels on point and relevant.

a very enjoyable experience.
