Florentine Joop liest: Sommer im Heckenrosental

A hot Brandenburg summer, gloomy ponds, memories that emerge smelling of warm sand, lime trees and melted tar. Two homes, Florentine Joop tells of meeting her rascal friend behind a green courtyard gate, together they experience adventures from which a wild childhood is knitted. There is only one year between them, a band called ABBA, the length of a head and an
German border.
Florentine Joop takes her readers into her past and talks about what it was like to have two homes and the fear of losing both. One of many
stories from the days before, during and after reunification, of which there are still too few.

Florentine Joop, born in Hamburg in 1973, is the youngest daughter of the well-known fashion designer Wolfgang Joop and has been publishing her own books since 2000.
