This is the third time Selma has had an okapi dream. The people of Westerwald already know that this dream portends death. So they desperately avoid people, animals, and traffic. They write long letters about "always" and "never". They fill their lives with truthfulness, because it is extremely painful to die with the truth hidden in your body. So the optician, who has kept his love for Selma a secret for decades, decides to let his feelings out. Louise's mother, Astrid, is looking for a way to divorce her father. She doesn't love the owner of the ice cream parlour with whom she had an affair, but she doesn't love Peter anymore either. But none of them will die this time. And the death that will happen will not break their hearts as much as the heart of Luisa, Selma's granddaughter...

"What You Can See From Here" is a philosophical novel reflecting on the absurdity of life and death, immortality, and love that is so different and sometimes inappropriate. It is about grief that changes one girl and an entire community. And about finding yourself in this big, strange world.
