Lohmann:Wie du mich ansiehst

The new novel by the bestselling author explores the opportunities that come with aging. Karl has left his daughter Johanna two things: the beloved, overgrown garden and a deep worry line on her forehead that just won't go away. Johanna wants to keep the garden, but she wants the worry line gone: for the first time in her life, she decides to "do something" about it and is fascinated by how seemingly easy it is to erase the upheavals of a forty-year life. However, with the disappearance of the line, new questions arise: Why is Johanna's appearance so important to her? How does she explain this to her daughter, to whom she has always preached the importance of unconditional self-beauty? And can't aging also mean great freedom for Johanna?
