Der Geschmack von Apfelkernen

A sensational success right from the start - over 250,000 copies sold. Shimmering and magical are the memories of summer vacations at grandmother's house, mysterious the stories of the aunts. Katharina Hagena tells the tale of the women in a family, intertwining the fates of three generations. A novel about remembering and forgetting - moving, wonderfully funny, and clever. When Bertha dies, Iris inherits the house. After many years, Iris finds herself back in her grandmother's old house, where she played dress-up with her cousin during summer vacations as a child. She wanders through the rooms and the garden, a world out of time, where red currants turn white overnight and are canned as preserved tears, where a tree blooms twice, villages disappear, and women shake sparks from their fingers. However, the garden has since become overgrown.
