Inmitten von allem der Fluss

Starting at the beginning of the 20th century, this generational novel reaches right up to the present day. Based on his own family history, Ernst Heimes tells with depth and humour about people during the many social and political upheavals of more than a hundred years. He tells of growing up in times of war, of a childhood in the 1950s and 1960s, of the search for origins and home and the longing for freedom and independence.
