Love and other secrets

  • A touching novel on two-time levels about the challenges of marriage and the question of what sacrifices a woman is prepared to make for her freedom
  • For the readers of Katharina Fuchs, Eva Völler and Trude Teige

Two women's fates, two marital histories - and a life lie that connects them both

 

To leave or to stay? This is the question Kerstin asks herself after almost thirty years of marriage when she falls in love with another man. But does this young love count for more than a decades-old bond? And is it wise to cut all your roots for a dream? Evelyn feels much the same at the end of the 1950s. She is torn between her sense of duty to her husband and children and her longing for happiness. Despite the six decades that separate them and their different ages, Evelyn and Kerstin's inner struggle is the same. As Kerstin comes to terms with Evelyn's story, she not only gains clarity about her feelings - she also uncovers a life lie concerning her own family.
