Amber

In Part II of the Amber Saga, Rose Marie Gasser Rist describes the life story of a woman from Generation Y. We get to know Amber from a young age: how she navigates various circumstances as a binational child, experiments with her identity as a teenager and young adult - because Amber's wildness is not just in her red curly hair. We empathize with her, experiencing her desires and fears, her loves and sufferings - and above all, her passion. Amber is born just a few weeks before the reactor accident in Chernobyl. Her parents live together for a while, then separate, and Amber grows up in Zurich with her father. She is outraged by global injustices and wants to make a difference - becoming a feminist and eco-activist. After the events in Fukushima, Amber's commitment resonates with the spirit of the times, and she embarks on a political career with the Greens. But then something unexpected happens... Amber is a provocative book with emotional depth: timely, critical, modern, and feminist, it reflects our society both locally and globally.
