Zebras im Schnee

"Freedom, she thinks, does not come without a cost." While researching for the 75th anniversary of the Bauhaus-related urban planning program Neues Frankfurt, New York art historian and architect Richard Kugelman comes across a photo of his mother, Franziska Goldblum, taken in the late 1920s. The photographer is a certain Ella Burmeister. As Richard delves deeper into her life story during a trip to the Main metropolis, he wonders if he can find more material on this artist who was unjustly forgotten after the war—his planned exhibition could be nothing short of a sensation. But what was the relationship between the two women? And why did former art student Franziska never speak of Ella and their time together in Frankfurt after immigrating to the USA in 1933, nor paint again? Richard unexpectedly finds himself drawn into a story that will change his life forever. A novel inspired by historical events about two young artists of the "Roaring Twenties," and a gripping tale of friendship, love, and new beginnings.
