书籍简介

乔纳斯觉得他的生活已经结束。

他的妻子离开了他，他的母亲在老年痴呆症中越陷越深，而他的女儿也不再是他所想的那样。所以他想出了一个万无一失的计划：买一张单程票到一个混乱的、饱受战争蹂躏的国家，结束这一切。

但当他到达寂静旅馆时，他发现他的计划——以及他的匿名性——开始在外国的阳光下消失了。现在，还有其他事情需要他关注，比如破败的酒店本身，经营酒店的员工，以及他不寻常的客人。很快就可以看出，乔纳斯必须决定他是否真的想把这一切都抛在脑后；或者给生活第二次机会，尽管是在一条出乎意料的道路上......

Jonas feels like his life is over.

His wife has left him, his mother is slipping deeper into dementia, and his daughter is no longer who he thought. So he comes up with a foolproof plan: to buy a one-way ticket to a chaotic,war-ravaged country and put an end to it all.

But on arriving at Hotel Silence, he finds his plans - and his anonymity - begin to dissolve under the foreign sun. Now there are other things that need his attention, like the crumbling hotel itself, the staff who run it, and his unusual fellow guests. And soon it becomes clear that Jonas must decide whether he really wants to leave it all behind; or give life a second chance, albeit down a most unexpected path...
