Another dazzling book from Elke Heidenreich - perfect for mothers and daughters.
|
This mother and daughter never seem to be able to meet without friction. ‘Well, it?s okay I suppose? is the highest form of praise to be heard. Yet Nina?s daughterly conscience forces her to continue to visit her mother. Each visit ends in a row. The daughter doesn?t know how to make it up to her mother, nor the mother to the daughter. So much separates them that there appears to be no chance of any improvement.
But now Nina?s mother suddenly wants to come on holiday with her to Italy. Perfect timing! Just when Nina is head over heels in love – with a woman. Her mother won?t understand, will she? In spite of all expectations to the contrary, the days in Milan prove exciting yet harmonious, and bring mother and daughter closer together.
Elke Heidenreich shows great sensitivity as she tells of a mother-daughter relationship, of secrets between friends that unexpectedly come to light, and of both the bad and the best years.
