Das volle Leben

In this book twelve women review a century that was as difficult as it was crazy. Direct and unaffected, they tell of the runways and dead ends of life, of loved ones found and lost, of dreams and tears, hard work and blue nights. They speak of the big and small secrets of women, their longings and struggles, their successes and defeats on the stage of the "Comédie humaine". Susanna Schwager has written a dazzling kaleidoscope of female life plans. The result is not a praise of age, but a song of praise for life.
