Sommer in Super 8

A novel like a Sunday outing to the sea. In Clara's life, everything important happens on a Wednesday. On a Wednesday in 1963, she is born as the middle child in a family of soon-to-be five children of a country doctor. Her mother is beautiful, elegant, and intelligent, while her father is appreciated by his patients, cosmopolitan, and witty. The parties the Kings host are legendary. Clara admires her father, but increasingly, he turns to alcohol, and his escapades begin to shake the family's life. For a long time, Clara tries to cover this up until everything comes to a head on a Wednesday. With fine humor, Anne Müller tells the story of growing up in a seemingly perfect family and brings the 1970s back to life with moon landings, Tritop, apple shampoo, and Super 8 films.
