Die Wlfe von Greifswald

Thirteen-year-old, impulsive Aslaug plunges into a deep crisis for the first time in her life. Her mother reacts strangely: she begins to tell her daughter the story of their female ancestors. This story stretches back to mythical Scandinavian times, filled with bloodshed, violence, heartache, and moral challenges. Meanwhile, Aslaug's father is exploring their family history and uncovers a dark secret from the Nazi era. For Aslaug, the boundaries between this world and the next, past and present, myths and German history, fiction and reality, physics and metaphysics increasingly blur. For three-quarters of a year, she is tossed back and forth on an emotional rollercoaster between loss and new beginnings. An epic novel about the search for one's roots, but above all about growing up. For readers aged 12 and up.
