A conversation all daughters and mothers should have with each other before it's too late!
What is important in life? Which wishes have been fulfilled? And how much of ourselves do we want to reveal at all?
The relationship with the mother is formative. We turn away from her, long for her, need her. In this book, Laura Karasek and her mother, Armgard Karasek, speak from the perspective of two different generations about life as a woman, as a mother, as a daughter, as a lover, as a friend, as a lawyer, as a journalist, as a teenager, as a widow. Touchingly open, sometimes unsparing, but always loving, the two women confront those questions that move us all in an entertaining and intimate dialogue.
The result is a conversation about the meaning of family, friendship, love, farewell and loss that all mothers and daughters should have!
"There's not a person in the whole world who has ever lashed out at me the way you have."
"That's just because I have feelings. That's my proof of love, Mom."
