Goldene Zeiten im Gepäck

A great love that was not meant to be, and a friendship that grows with every kilometer. An energetic elderly lady embarks on a journey across Eastern Europe with her young caregiver to reunite with the love of her life. A heartwarming women's novel filled with love and humor by bestselling author Adriana Popescu! Mrs. Kaiser, the lively nursing home resident, knows something about Karla that she shouldn't. She blackmails the young caregiver to drive her in an old Renault across Europe. Where to? Karla will find out. Why? That's none of her business. Karla is just supposed to drive – as fast as possible, because they don't have much time left. A golden medal glints from Kaiser's suitcase. A reminder of long-gone days when two young swimmers met at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne but were not allowed to love each other. Adriana Popescu, born in Munich in 1980, worked as a screenwriter for German television before becoming a freelance editor for various magazines and eventually writing novels for several renowned publishing houses. She lives with great enthusiasm in Stuttgart. About "Golden Times in Luggage," she says: "My passion project and an ending that made me cry. By the way, anyone who doesn't cry has had a concrete heart cast! In between, I hope there’s plenty of hearty laughter.".
