Frauen im Sanatorium
Description:
After this incident, Anna, the novel's protagonist, finds herself in a sanatorium. There she meets Marija, who constantly monologues about her dead mother; Elif, who invents a new fairy tale every day; and Katharina, the German army soldier who drinks red wine with vodka every night. And then there's Pepik, the pale flamingo from the spa park, to whom Anna tells about her emigration, about the time when her mother stopped drawing invisible circles on her cheek, and her father hardly ever showed his face anymore. Above all, Anna talks to Pepik every day about love. Because love exists everywhere, especially and even in a place as depressing as a clinic. "Author Anna Prizkau, who, like many of her fictional characters, was born 'in another city, another country' and emigrated to Germany with her family in 1994, has long since discovered language as a medium for nuance and uncertainty, alongside her journalistic work. This is also what makes her debut novel so captivating, sending the reader down dubious paths and revealing itself as a human parable about the fragility of relationships and family" (titel-kulturmagazin.net
