Nicola Denis / German / 2026 / 340 pages
An ocean liner, a suitcase full of hopes and a life between two worlds: in 1953, a young couple from Ludwigshafen set off for Tunja, in the heights of the Colombian Andes. With letters, scraps of stories, photo albums and on a journey together with two of their children, the narrator follows in her parents' footsteps a good seventy years later. Nicola Denis' autofictional novel is about contemporary history and transatlantic connections, about colonial language patterns and female self-assertion, and about collecting stories in the folds and twists of the novel.
