Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Ginny is feeling lighter and heavier at the same time. She's just learned from her cousin about a devastating genetic inheritance but the revelation has brought a new logic to her mother's death many years before, and to her mother's love. Leaving her fiance in the dark, Ginny flees to Germany to research a novel about the maverick sea captain Count von Luckner, who was lauded for his courage. 'What was courage anyway?' she wonders. 'Did it rise up out of some kind of counter-pressure?' Navigating transient, hedonistic Berlin on her own, she absorbs the city's tangle of stories as she tries to gather the strength to face her future. Set in 2019 as it turns into 2020, I Laugh Me Broken is a novel about an inescapable past and the complex play between genetic inheritance and the choices that are ours to make. It is, finally, a hard-won love story.
