Produktbeschreibung
Gorgeous, heartwarming stories about quirky, mature characters that will make even the most discerning readers smile. The public book box, reborn from a decadent telephone booth, unexpectedly and skilfully weaves the lives of its random readers and gently brings their personal secrets to light. The life of a woman imprisoned in her own world, full of constraints, seems at first to circle irreversibly under a predetermined spell until she meets her counterpart at the bookcase. In a desperate search for a certain book, a widowed grandfather spontaneously makes contact with his highly coveted neighbor. In the process, he comes across a big secret. The unmistakable, admirable humanity of the main characters triumphs over their whimsical quirks. The author shows effectively and enchantingly: Better to browse and fall in love instead of satirizing and caricaturing!
Autorenporträt
As a child, she listened spellbound to her mother's tender voice every day as she read aloud. As a teenager, she read four books from different genres in two languages at the same time. As a working adult, she has traveled to several European countries on business, meeting exciting characters who became the role models for her later protagonists.It was only at the age of 40 that she began to recount the impressions she had collected, for her debut, "12 Women's Fates".The idea for this book "The Public Book Box" is based on the author's real leisure activities in her permanent residence in Main-Spessart. In addition to her favorite books from the bookstore and library, she accesses the public bookcases on Sundays. Paris, Vienna, Dusseldorf, Karlstadt... a bench, reading glasses, a book - that's all she needs!
