Lesung mit Lucinde Hutzenlaub "Das Blau auf der anderen Seite"

Which is harder: holding on or letting go? Farewells and new beginnings for two women on the other side of the world

Joshua says the sky here over New Zealand is bigger and much bluer. He is right. This sky tells other stories. Stories of hope, perhaps. Or of survival. Their honeymoon was supposed to take Karla and Sebastian to New Zealand. But Sebastian dies, and Karla is left with her life in tatters. She herself is most surprised that she still managed to book the flight to Christchurch. When she makes a stopover at the apple orchard of 97-year-old emigrant Marge, she comes across documents belonging to Dr. Joshua Eichelbaum in the barn that tell of a dark era in Germany. And of a bond that fatefully connects the two dissimilar women. A deeply moving novel about new beginnings in New Zealand, a highly unusual female friendship and the opportunity for a young widow to find a way into the future through courage, love and friendship.
