Frankie

A cat interrupts the final goodbye

Richard Gold is ready to end his life when a skinny tomcat appears at his window. Drawn by a large television, a soft bed, and regular meals, the cat moves in. Their eccentric friendship unites two outsiders, one still certain life can have a happy ending. Frankie is a touching, darkly comic story about finding a way back to life.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

»Das wär nix für mich, so’n Lebenssinn. Erstmal muss man ihn finden. Und dann muss man drauf aufpassen, damit man ihn nicht verliert.«Richard Gold hat alles vorbereitet. Heute ist der Tag, an dem er sich das Leben nehmen wird. Der Strick liegt schon um seinen Hals, als sich ein dürrer Kater vor das Fenster setzt, interessiert glotzt – und Gold komplett aus dem Konzept bringt. Als dann der Kater auch noch bei Gold einzieht, weil der einen großen Fernseher hat, ein „extremst“ weiches Bett und pünktlich Essen serviert, beginnt die skurrile Freundschaft zwischen zwei Außenseitern, von denen zumindest einer ganz fest an ein Happy End im Leben glaubt.Ein Mann, der sterben will. Ein Kater, der ein Zuhause sucht. Eine berührende und zugleich urkomische Geschichte über eine außergewöhnliche Freundschaft und den Weg zurück ins Leben.
