Description
You only have yourself to blame for the choices you've made. Some decisions take you down one path, and others another - it's all about power. Resi, a writer in her mid-forties, has watched as her friends became more entrenched in the comforts of money, success, and nuclear family life. After Resi's latest book openly criticises stereotypical family values, she receives a letter of eviction from her apartment building. Incensed by what she now sees clearly, Resi sets out to describe the world as it really is for her daughter, Bea. Written with dark humour and clarifying rage, this novel is a ferocious and funny account of motherhood, parenthood, family, and friendship thrust into battle. Lively, rude, and wise, Anke Stelling's novel throws down the gauntlet to those who fail to interrogate who they have become.
