Caroline Peters liest »Ein anderes Leben«

Who was Hanna? A woman who lived between her family’s expectations and her own demands – always with poems in her head that made her forget everyday life. She married her three university friends, had three daughters and searched for her place in life until she decided to leave the family and start again. Many years after Hanna’s death, her youngest daughter looks back on her life: a childhood in the Rhineland in the 1970s and 1980s, characterized by adventurous experiences between bourgeoisie and bohemia. With humor and empathy, Caroline Peters’ first novel tells of a daughter’s questions to her deceased mother – and of the courage to go her own way. A touching, powerful and very personal book.

Caroline Peters, born in 1971, is one of the most important German actresses. In addition to her successful career as an actress in film and theater, “Another Life” is her debut novel.
