Ein einsames Haus in den Bergen und eine Naturkatastrophe, nach der ein Schweizer Kanton sich plötzlich lossagt von unserer Gegenwart: Sinkende Sterne ist ein virtuoser, schwebend-abgründiger Roman, in dem eine scheinbare Idylle zur Bedrohung wird und der uns tief hineinführt in die Welt der Literatur selbst. Thomas Hettche erzählt, wie er nach dem Tod seiner Eltern in die Schweiz reist, um das Ferienhaus zu verkaufen, in dem er seine Kindheit verbracht hat. Doch was realistisch beginnt, wird schnell zu einer fantastischen, märchen-haften Geschichte, in der nichts ist, was es zu sein scheint.

Around them drifts the unseen presence of a seventh figure, Percival, whose absence becomes a powerful refrain throughout the book.
