Hey, Good Morning, How Are You?

THE SPIEGEL BESTSELLER AND WINNER OF THE GERMAN BOOK PRIZE 2024'A triumph of sharp wit and profound humanity ... A divine masterpiece' Anne WeberJuno Isabella Flock is a dancer and performance artist. By day, she cares for her ailing husband Jupiter, who cannot manage daily life without her. But by night, unable to sleep, she chats online with love scammers: men who confess their love to women on the internet, and then ply them for money. Juno, however, will not fall for their scams.These conversations offer Juno a heady freedom to be who she wants to be, free from the stresses of her real life: always busy and on the go, always concerned about Jupiter. Instead, she plays games with these men who are lying to her, and starts to tell lies of her own. But then she meets Benu, and an immediate connection forms, despite the distance between them. Just as Juno sees through Benu’s lies, he sees clearly through hers too.Hey, Good Morning, How Are You? is a profound and moving novel about needs and longing, about truth and connection, and about how far we are willing to go for love.'A book like a tightrope walk without a net: a sheer drop to the left, a sheer drop to the right, you want to look away but you can’t and you don’t need to, because as long as Martina Hefter is telling this story, as long as her thoughts are so luminous and life and desire are so intense, nothing can happen' German Book Prize Jury 2024'[An] intelligently choreographed novel, which exerts an attraction of its very own' Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung'TRANSLATED BY LINDA L.
