Aaregeflüster

On the banks and in the surroundings of the Aare in Bern, two peas discuss who they would be if they could be someone else. Jonas recognizes the older woman at the market, who is energetically rummaging through the radishes. A statue by the Loebegge waits for its new friends. Otto Schnabelhug decides to do nothing while a purple letter floats down from the sky into Grandma Frieda's lap. Such dreamy, quirky, and surreal stories from life are picked up by the Aare and whispered further. Désirée Scheidegger has listened to them and captures the stories in her debut "Aaregeflüster" in a straightforward yet playful language. The author skillfully weaves them into a cohesive narrative - impressive, powerful, subtle, fluid, and with more than just a wink.
