Produktbeschreibung
Set in the Sorbian-speaking region of the former East Germany, this unique and thought-provoking novella focuses on Ena, a young farm worker, who is torn between her family's culture and the growing demands of modern society. She must navigate the conflicting demands and competing world views of her two lovers, Mathias (a Sorbian farmer) and Sieghart (a German engineer), even as she moves to Paris and then deals with the passing of her beloved grandfather. The story is tight and intense, with touches of magical realism as well as beautiful descriptions of nature. Koch's pithy, accurate descriptions of life in Brandenburg and Saxony are animated by the author's steadfast and heartening appreciation of rural traditions, the visits of a pre-Christian goddess, and...a surprise ending.
