"A forgotten urn, a curious toddler, and the shadow of the grandfather - thus begins the Franco-German detective story that Natalie Buchholz tells us. Her poetic investigations lead right into the shady thickets of the twentieth century and the secrets of a family. The book is unputdownable." – Nils Minkmar A chance find reminds Natalie Buchholz of her grandfather Anatole, a man torn between Germany and France. In his youth, he serves in the French army, is later forcibly recruited as a soldier in the Wehrmacht, and after the war, he vehemently chooses a side, which even leads him to reject his daughter when she marries a German. With poetic precision, Buchholz illuminates the emotional wounds and conflicts of a Franco-German family, whose history reflects the ambivalence and torn nature of Alsace-Lorraine - and uncovers a painful truth. Natalie Buchholz, born in 1977 in France, grew up in Munich and the Munich area. She studied Cultural Studies and Aesthetic Practice at the University of Hildesheim and Aix-Marseille University. She has published the novels "Der rote Swimmingpool", "Unser Glück", as well as a series of youth books. She lives in Munich and the Inn Valley.
