A young man and woman from opposite ends of the social spectrum - and two very different Germanies – fall for each other in this powerful Bildungsroman of family, escape and first love.
Born in East Berlin, Julia is eight when her actress mother uproots her family of four girls, by different fathers, in search of a better life. Their eventual landing in the remote countryside of Schleswig-Holstein solves no problems for this fractured household. Desperate to escape a childhood of rural poverty, neglect and shame, the lonely child becomes addicted to writing. Aged 13, she leaves her family. At school in West Berlin, she finally encounters love. In this gripping novel based on her youthful diaries and early life, Julia Franck shows why, and how, a great writer found her voice.
