Ocelot and Frisian mink

The novel of a completely normal crazy childhood in the seventies - and the search for a homeland that no longer exists.

Sun, freedom, champagne: In the 1970s, stars, politicians, and industry magnates of the economic miracle land, as well as many other island vacationers, leave their everyday lives behind at the beach - and resourceful entrepreneurs from Sylt lay the foundation for incredible wealth. For Susanne Matthiessen, the Sylt of her childhood is a fascinating yet dangerous playground, populated by extraordinary people, many of whom are typical of that era. The author tells of all these encounters, as well as the painful loss of her homeland, with great ease, sharp insight, and humor.
