»Ein anderes Leben«: Die Schauspielerin und Autorin Caroline Peters liest aus ihrem Debütroman

In the organizer's words:

In cooperation with the Bücherhaus am Münster

Who was Hanna? This woman who so often fell out of character, who married her three university friends one after the other and had three daughters, always with poems in her head, about which she forgot everyday life, who sought her place between the family's expectations of her and her own demands - and could only rarely be herself? Many years after Hanna's death, the youngest daughter looks back on her mother's life, on her own childhood in the Rhineland in the seventies and eighties, in which Hanna made sure that the days were always a little different than usual. A life between bourgeoisie and bohemia: with champagne and Pushkin in bed on Sunday mornings, visits after school to the institute library where her mother works and flirts with shy students, poker under the Christmas tree, adventurous trips in the duck - until Hanna decides to leave the family and start her life all over again on her own. With great empathy and lightness, Caroline Peters tells of a daughter's questions to her deceased mother and to herself - and of what it means to go your own way. A very personal book, powerful, touching and full of captivating humor.
