[Reading will be in German] An ocean liner, a suitcase full of hopes, and a life between two worlds: in 1953, a young couple leaves Ludwigshafen for Tunja, high in the Colombian Andes. More than seventy years later, the narrator retraces her parents’ journey with two of her children, guided by letters, fragments of stories, and family photo albums. In Nicola Denis’s autofictional novel, personal memory intertwines with contemporary history, transatlantic entanglements, colonial patterns of language, and acts of female self-assertion—while the narrative patiently gathers the stories hidden in the novel’s many folds and turns.
