Frag nicht nach Agnes
Description:
Lilo, a young goldsmith, has a very strained relationship with her mother--a woman whose family roots she knows next to nothing about. When a letter surfaces involving her grandmother, Lilo begins asking questions, leading to a heated argument. "Your grandmother destroyed my life!" her mother finally screams. Lilo is left speechless--and begins to investigate. When her husband returns from captivity as a prisoner of war, Agnes hopes for the marital happiness she has long been denied. But Walter is plagued by nightmares and behaves in an authoritarian, distant manner. Agnes seeks refuge in her work at the French occupation administration, where she finds recognition and experiences a sense of freedom. Yet, following the birth of her daughter, she is expected to return to the domestic hearth. Her home becomes a prison. When Agnes finally uncovers a secret about Walter--one with explosive potential--she faces a choice: Will she fight for her dream of self-determination, or resign herself to her fate? A moving novel about the history of our mothers and grandmothers--and what their destinies mean for our own happiness.
