"Larger than life. On an advertising display in the underground Taipei Mall. This is how the young doctor Novana sees her mother, the Taiwanese artist March, again. It has been eighteen years since March left her behind in Germany without any explanation.
Everything that has recently defined Novana’s life fades in the face of this unexpected reunion: her desire for a fresh start, which led her to leave Cologne. Everyday life in the neonatal intensive care unit in Taipei. The sleepless nights she spends wandering through the metropolis.
Then, at a karaoke night, Novana meets Sihan. A fearless activist—lively, determined. Novana is drawn to her, and something that seemed long lost returns to her life: the possibility of intimacy." (Publisher)
