Zwischen zwei Leben

When the children leave home, Jenni Mäki ends her unhappy marriage with Jussi, changes her name, and finally breaks free from the life that was planned for her: as Jenny Hill, she starts anew. A chorus of female fairy tale characters accompanies her, wittily commenting on the absurdity of the expectations that women are still supposed to meet in our world. A powerful novel about aging as a woman and the idea that it’s never too late to find one’s own path - celebrated in Finland as a feminist manifesto.
