Set in the mid-twentieth century and told with beauty and tenderness, Robert Seethaler's A Whole Life is a story of a man's relationship with an ancient landscape, of the value of solitude, of the arrival of the modern world, and above all, of the moments, great and small, that make us who we are.

For all its gentleness, a very powerful novel." —Jim Crace
