Centaur is a wonderful, sometimes angry, and often humorous book about a mother-daughter relationship in an exceptional situation.
Georg has been dying for far too long. While his wife Ruth selflessly cares for him at home, she becomes estranged from their 15-year-old daughter Lea, who just wants a normal teenage life. But then, something unexpected happens: instead of dying, Georg transforms into something quite different. Confronted with this absurd new reality, Ruth and Lea must navigate their fractured relationship and find a way to finally let him go.
