Elisabeth Kabatek - Siebzehn schwäbische Verwandte – und trotzdem ein Liebesroman

After trips to Cornwall and the fictional town of Schwäbingen, the bestselling author (“Laugenweckle zum Frühstück”), cabaret artist, and columnist for the *Stuttgarter Zeitung* is returning to her roots: After many years, there is finally another novel set in Stuttgart. No place could be more fitting for the book launch than Stuttgart’s Renitenz Theater!
Zoologist Paula is on the verge of the pinnacle of her scientific career: deep in the jungles of Borneo, she has finally tracked down the extremely rare mountain-top squirrel. Her camera is at the ready—when her cell phone rings. Paula’s day is ruined, and not just because the squirrel has bolted. She has to return to Stuttgart for her father’s funeral. The patriarch disowned her years ago because she had too much personality and too little interest in gear shafts. His will is a final, diabolical act of revenge: for the entire family to receive the inheritance, Paula must run the company for a year, supported by an insufferable know-it-all in a gray business suit. For the money-hungry Swabian family, the decision is clear. For Paula, the choice is: croissants or a holding company? Freedom or family? Borneo or Stuttgart? A story with a high degree of relatability, plenty of local Stuttgart flavor, and a turbulent love story!
There will be a book table. After the reading, you can meet Elisabeth Kabatek in person in the foyer and have your book signed (the novel will be released in early October).
