You only have yourself to blame, you might say, but that's not
true. Some decisions take you down one path, and others another ...
It's all about power. Resi is a writer in her mid-forties, married
to Sven, a painter. They live, with their four children, in an
apartment building in Berlin, where their lease is controlled by
some of their closest friends. Those same friends live communally
nearby, in a house they co-own and have built together. As the
years have passed, Resi has watched her once-dear friends become
more and more ensconced in the comforts and compromises of money,
success, and the nuclear family. After Resi's latest book openly
criticises stereotypical family life and values, she receives a
letter of eviction. Incensed by the true natures and hard realities
she now sees so clearly, Resi sets out to describe the world as it
really is for her fourteen-year-old daughter, Bea. Written with
dark humour and clarifying rage, Anke Stelling's novel is a
ferocious and funny account of motherhood, parenthood, family, and
friendship thrust into battle. Lively, rude, and wise, it throws
down the gauntlet to those who fail to interrogate who they have
become.
