More about the book

Set against the backdrop of the German Democratic Republic in the 1970s, this novel follows Beatrice, who awakens after eight centuries and embarks on a journey from Provence to Paris and the GDR. There, she encounters Laura, a socialist trolley driver, and together they navigate a world filled with adventure and magic, aided by the mysterious Melusine. Blending various genres and formats, the author critiques GDR socialism while exploring themes of feminism, history, and myth, aiming to rewrite women's roles in both.
