Weil ich Ruth bin

Everyone is captivated by her. She walks confidently through the streets in her radiance, magically drawing attention to herself. Ruth is a very special person. She is born with a coat, just like her mother and grandmother, and loses it at the end of her childhood. And Ruth has power. She can summon storms, dry up streams, and move things. But above all, she can temporarily transform people into animals. People flock to her, wanting to be a jellyfish for a while, a lobster, a dog, a bird, a lizard, and forget about bills, office meetings, household chores, and the whole modern life. Ruth shares her power with each individual. They see happiness in her, see what could be and is not, what they have forgotten and now miss. And she also helps those who experience violence with her power. But then comes Linda, the tall, beautiful Linda. The married Linda. What will happen now? "Because I am Ruth" is a stunning novel full of magic in a uniquely sensual language.
