Amani Padda liest "Bevor der Himmel reißt"

In the organizer's words:

Young adult novel for ages 14 and up.
Piesnitz in Saxony, a place where you stand out if you are different. Dilly and Heer, both 17, both children of Indian immigrant families, both Sikhs.
After the death of her father, Heer loses her footing - until she suddenly meets Dilly at a party. They become close and join a youth group that is committed to bringing the neighborhood closer together, strengthening the community and standing up against the right-wing hatred in their city.
A moving young adult novel about migration, queer issues, friendship and the courage to be visible and be yourself.

Amani Padda grew up in Saxony and studied law in Leipzig, specializing in human rights. She has been politically active since her school days and loves stories about outsiders and courageous people. You can find her on Instagram at @amani.padda.
