Der Sommer im Garten meinerMutter

''Summer in My Mother's Garden'' is about passing. Beautifully told like a sunset on the Ligurian Sea, we read a novel that coherently recalls the life of the mother and all those people who were touched by it; but which also tells the story of a daughter who can only let go after often painful journeys to the gardens of memory of a shared life.It is a short summer of four weeks in which mother and daughter say goodbye to each other. Confronted with the diagnosis of an incurable disease and her mother's decision to die in a self-determined manner, Francesca, the daughter, sets off in search of clues.From Chiavari, a small town on the Ligurian coast, where the mother was born in the 1930s, the memory leads to Zurich, to a suburban district where Francesca, the daughter, experienced her youth in the 1960s.
