On the run into her own life
What happens when a woman simply disappears? In "The Passerby" , Nina George tells the story of Jeanne Patou, a celebrated film icon who flees her own life. When she is falsely declared dead, she takes the opportunity to go into hiding - from the public, from her past, from her husband. In Barcelona, she meets other women in hiding who not only share a house with her, but also experiences, destinies and longings. When she meets her husband by chance four and a half years later, she realizes that she has to face up to herself. To him, but above all to herself.
Nina George, bestselling author of "The Lavender Room", is one of the most important voices in contemporary German-language literature. Her works have been translated into over 36 languages, she has been campaigning for the rights of authors in cultural policy for years and has been awarded the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, among other honors. "Die Passantin" is her new major novel - an empathic, fast-paced and angry tale about self-discovery, becoming strong, emancipation and emerging from entrenched structures.
