Penguin Evas Tochter

A young woman sets up a tent in the middle of her hometown and inspires the residents to see life from a new perspective. Summer in a small German town. Suddenly, a tent appears on the sidewalk in the middle of the villa district. Sophie von Clüver, the black sheep of the family, has returned and is camping in front of her parents' house. The tent stands there like an accusation – or a cry for help. It captures the attention of the neighborhood: Hanne, widowed and lonely, who has known Sophie since childhood. Artist Greta, who wants to break free from traditional family patterns. School friend Wanda, who has always envied Sophie. Graduate Lilli, who supplements her pocket money as a cam girl. Hjördis, who struggles with her neuroses. Judith, who dares to try online dating at seventy. And Eva, Sophie's mother, who seems so strong but is afraid to face her daughter after years of separation. "Eva's Daughter" artfully weaves together the stories of eight women into a multifaceted novel cosmos. What challenges does everyday life present to them, and what answers might they find together? With great warmth and empathy, Annette Mingels tells the stories of women's lives in Germany.
