Caroline Peters - Ein anderes Leben
Who was Hanna? This woman, who so often fell out of her role, who married her three study friends one after the other and had three daughters, always with poems in her head, forgetting about everyday life, searching for her place between the family's expectations of her and her own standards – and who could rarely be for herself? Many years after Hanna's death, the youngest daughter looks back on her mother's life, on her own childhood in the Rheinland of the seventies and eighties, where Hanna makes sure that the days are always a bit different than usual. A life between bourgeoisie and bohemia: with champagne and Pushkin on Sunday mornings in bed, visits after school to the institute library, where her mother works and flirts with shy students, poker under the Christmas tree, adventurous rides in the little car – until Hanna decides to leave the family and start her life alone from scratch. With great empathy and ease, Caroline Peters tells the story of a daughter's questions to her deceased mother and to herself – and what it means to forge one's own path. A very personal book, powerful, touching, and with delightful humor.
