DuMont

Ida has nothing with her except her mother's old, scuffed hard-shell suitcase, a few favourite clothes and her MacBook when she leaves home. It is probably a farewell forever to the small town where she has spent her whole life so far. Ida is really bad at saying goodbye; she didn't even make it to her mother's funeral two months ago. At the railway station, she picks the train that goes the furthest away - there's no way she wants to go to her sister Tilda in Hamburg - and ends up on the island of Rügen. With no plan, just a big lump of anger, grief and guilt in her stomach, she wanders around the Baltic island. She finally meets Knut, the local pub owner, and his wife Marianne, who take Ida in without further ado. The three of them have breakfast together every morning, Ida then spends the day with Marianne, they walk through the forest together or play skip-bo, and in the evenings Ida works with Knut in the Robbe. And she gets to know Leif, who is just as injured as she is. Suddenly everything is a little easier, more bearable in Ida's life. Until her world is turned upside down again shortly afterwards.
Following her acclaimed debut '22 Bahnen', Caroline Wahl now tells the story of how Ida deals with life in her unmistakable sound. A stirring, intense and yet immensely comforting novel about daughters, sisters and mothers, about supposed guilt and forgiveness - of oneself and others.
