Wenn Das Gluck Kommt, Muss Man Ihm Einen Stuhl Hinstellen

This exquisite novel by one of Germany's most honored children's book authors is about an orphan girl's secrets and fantasies, her dreams and lies, her enemies and friends. It is about the walls we build to protect ourselves when life is all pain, and about what happens when good fortune comes and we finally invite it in to stay.

For Halinka, all politics and history--even family history--are best forgotten. Everything is best forgotten, and she dares not even think about the word "hope." But her aunt Lou, who is always hopeful, may be right.

Acest roman rafinat al unuia dintre cei mai onorati autori de carti pentru copii din Germania este despre secretele si fanteziile unei fete orfane, visele si minciunile ei, dusmanii si prietenii ei. Este vorba despre zidurile pe care le construim pentru a ne proteja atunci cand viata este durere si despre ceea ce se intampla atunci cand vine norocul si, in sfarsit, o invitam sa ramana. Pentru Halinka, toata politica si istoria - chiar si istoria familiei - sunt cel mai bine uitate. .
