Bonn liest ein Buch - MAREIKE FALLWICKL »DIE WUT, DIE BLEIBT« [Abendkasse und Public Viewing]

Helene, mother of three, gets up at dinner, goes to the balcony and, without a word, throws herself to her death. The family is in a state of shock. Suddenly everything that has held them together so far is missing: Love, care, security.
Helene's best friend Sarah, who both envied and pitied Helene because of her family, is drawn into the maelstrom of grief and chaos. Lola, Helene's eldest daughter, searches for a way to cope with her emotions and focuses on the feeling that is strongest: anger.

In this feminist novel, Mareike Fallwickl drastically outlines what happens when an exhausted mother gives up, describing the gaps she leaves behind and the female rage that remains. She dissects taboo subjects, outdated role models and puts her finger in the gaping wounds of our society.
