Drei Frauen und ein falsches Leben

Past and Future: The success story of Women by the Lake continues – now in paperback. The sequel to the massive hits 'Three Women by the Lake' and 'Three Women, Four Lives'. The new SPIEGEL bestseller by Dora Heldt.

The stories of Alexandra, Friederike, and Jule are continued. How does one cope when all life dreams burst? How well do we know our parents? Through a project at her mother’s nursing home, Friederike is forced for the first time to confront Esther's life. Much appears in a different light.

Alex is researching for a book project about the industrial family Hohnstein, whose pristine reputation is increasingly tarnished by its entanglements with the Nazi regime. Jule, whose daughter Pia – like her once – is managing her daily life as a single mother, must learn that now, in her mid-fifties, she may have one last chance to change her life.

Women’s Lives: Only with the power of memory can the path to the future succeed. A rich, moving, and inspiring novel about the courage to confront the past and build a new future.
