From amazon.co.uk: Available for pre-order. This item will be released on 1 February 2013.
The book is being translated into English as we speak.
That's what I call a fresh item.  | | The following 2 users would like to thank Sagitta for this useful post: | |

Oh dear, thank for the info Sagitta! I never even doubted that it was already available!
I hope it is on time (it's a relatively short and quick read, anyway), if not there are other celebrated Martin Suter books that have certainly been already translated and filmed. We can choose an alternative.
Let's wait until the beginning of February, thanks for keeping us posted | Quote: | | | | | From amazon.co.uk: Available for pre-order. This item will be released on 1 February 2013.

I'm new in Zurich and to the book club. Really looking forward to meet you all and it seem like a great book. Just wonder if I should read it in English or in German.....

Let's wait until the beginning of February, thanks for keeping us posted | | | | | Today I checked, because the title and your description made me curious...Apparently, I could buy the German version on Amazon.com (US site) no problem, but according to said Amazon US, the English version doesn't exist. Is that weird or what?
Ah, I get it...maybe it's a sign...do your German homework* and so forth! 
*Speaking of "weird"...I got an email all the way over here from one of my former German teachers (a ton of writing auf Deutsch) who wanted to make sure that I am not forgetting what I learned in his class!!!

nice of you to show up, Boker Tov!
I guess you miss our brilliant book discussions
I'm sure your german teacher will be happy if you tell him you've read the book in german - and you will see it's much easier than Dürrenmatt...
I see the book is still announced for 1 February, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Let me tell you this: book clubs, there are plenty. But a book club with your friends, that's a whole different story! Actually, I wish all of you would move over here, now that would be cool!
Well...book will be shipped Monday or Tuesday, and will hopefully be on its way to me shortly afterwards.
