The Solitaire Mystery: a novel about family and destiny
The Solitaire Mystery weaves an astonishingly original tapestry of tales from the viewpoint of a twelve-year-old boy named Hans Thomas. On a car trip through Europe with his father, Hans searches for the mother who left them years ago. At the same time, he immerses himself in a fantastic miniature book only he can read: the strange, whimsical adventures of a sailor on an island where a deck of cards has come to life. As The Solitaire Mystery takes the reader into both worlds, the journey of Hans becomes our own, a universal search for meaning and fulfillment that not only enchants, but enriches our hearts and souls.
