»Die unerwünschte Tochter« Eine Lesung mit Miriam Carbe

A German family spanning a century: Margarethe, Marianne, Monika, Miriam. Four generations. They love one another, they hurt one another, they fight for their independence. They come from Dresden’s educated middle class; the men and fathers fall in the world wars. The worst rift occurs after the family moves to the West, when the highly intelligent but emotionally unstable granddaughter Monika, in the 1960s, defies all opposition to give birth to an illegitimate Black child. The author herself is that child. In a human, vivid, and compelling way, Miriam Carbe brings an entire century to life. Anyone who reads this book will encounter themselves and their own family histories. Epic and epoch-making—a masterpiece (Hanser).
