“This book touched my soul. The pages flew by far too quickly…”*
How does it feel to grow up as a girl that is wildly different and highly sensitive in a society shaped by patriarchy?
While traveling through Clara’s inner and outer world, you move through decades of time and across the skies between Germany and Canada. In Clara’s childhood, you witness how just a few spectacular soccer goals can open hearts and minds to diversity. The curious intimacies of first love and the tender, yet tense, bond between a mother and daughter may feel familiar in one way or another.
"A novel in which a nostalgia resonates that seems to arise from one's own childhood."
"Karin Eger has a magnificent writing style that captivates me from the very beginning and draws me into the story with incredible ease (…)."* (*Readers on LovelyBooks/Amazon)

Learning to Sit
Join me on Substack as I learn to tame my restless mind and study my dog, who is always more present than I am.
Karin Eger | Author
I write literary fiction that is easy to dive in, story-driven and inspired by the need for change. My protagonists are female, relatable and in love with freedom. But of course this relationship is always complicated.
In my newsletter and on Substack, I reflect on learning to meditate, mothering fully grown humans, becoming a grandmother to future power women, and living with dogs who teach me daily about presence and trust.
