With you it is always so eerily quiet

Of the perils of departure and return. Thirty-three-year-old Silvia Borowski drives a stolen Polo from West Berlin southward. Again and again, she listens to the soft, irregular breathing beside her: in a laundry basket on the passenger seat lies her little daughter Hannah. She is only a few weeks old. Silvia has had enough of her life in a squatter community in Kreuzberg, and the father of her child wants nothing to do with her. But what awaits her in that small town from which she once fled in haste? And how will her mother Evelyn receive her? Alena Schröder picks up the thread again – and tells what remained in the dark in her acclaimed debut novel "Young Woman, Standing at the Window, Evening Light, Blue Dress." Warmly voiced and sensitively read by Julia Nachtmann.
