Does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK criteria, based on searches in English and (elementary) German, though editors with fluency in German may be better positioned to uncover anything I missed.

Comment - It looks like Publishers Weekly reviewed it, here, and the New York Times did, here. The NYT review is very short, though, so I am not ready to say that the book passes point 1 of WP:NBOOK without a bit more being found. Rorshacma (talk) 16:15, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to this article in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the novel was an "international success" that been published in thirteen countries and became a bestseller in Italy and the United States. Universal Studios had even once secured the film rights to the novel for a film adaptation. Οἶδα (talk) 23:48, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I also found a review in Die Welt [1], as well as an interview with the author's father in Der Spiegel [2], which touches on the book. Οἶδα (talk) 04:44, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
