“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)
Karin Eger | Author
I write literary fiction about strong women of our time - read from the depth of their history and experience.
In my newsletter and on Substack, I share my journey as a part-time writer and part-time family business owner. 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.
