A Man for Mama

•The enchanting duo of Magdalena and Monika Bienert throw themselves into the dating world.


•Based on the successful BR2 podcast with over 100,000 downloads

“My mum is simply cool and would enrich anyone’s life. But she is single. Now she is in her early seventies and I can’t imagine that there is nobody who could turn her world upside down, just a little bit. Therefore, together we are looking for a man for mama.” No sooner said than done. Magdalena Bienert and her mother Monika go on a man hunt and don’t leave many details out: from analogue to digital, from blind dates to dances, the likable duo have a blast in the men’s world. A Man for Mama is based on the successful podcast of the same name and is a book about the ideas of love and partnership across the generations, an expedition into the realm of the silver age singles, but above all it is an amusing and intimate mother-daughter story.
