Floating in My Mother's Palm - Ursula Hegi

Descriere Floating in My Mother's Palm - Ursula Hegi

Glowing with the beauty and trouble of unconventionality, with the quest to transcend human tragedy, Floating in My Mother's Palm presents an absolutely correct postwar Germany with all its forbidden questions and mysterious behavior, all its squalor, loss, and longing (Los Angeles Times). \nFloating in My Mother's Palm is the compelling and mystical story of Hanna Malter, a young girl growing up in 1950's Burgdorf, the small German town Ursula Hegi so brilliantly brought to life in her bestselling novel Stones from the River. Hanna's courageous voice evokes her unconventional mother, who swims during thunderstorms; the illegitimate son of an American GI, who learns from Hanna about his father; and the librarian, Trudi Montag, who lets Hanna see her hometown from a dwarf's extraordinary point of view. Although Ursula Hegi wrote Floating in My Mother's Palm first, it can be read as a sequel to Stones from the River.
