At the end of the Second World War, a young boy is found in the middle of Germany. He knows nothing about himself or where he has come from. He is given the name Hartmut and his age is estimated. He grows up in a Catholic children’s home, where the priorities are order and, above all, discipline. When he meets Margret, an older girl orphaned in the war, the two become indispensable supports for each other and decide to cling together forever. After her highly praised bestsellers “Stay Away From Gretchen” and “What I Never Said”, we are very excited to present to you SUSANNE ABEL’S new novel DU MUSST MEINE HAND FESTER HALTEN, NR. 104 [“You Must Hold My Hand Tighter, No. 104”]. VERA TELTZ, who has narrated the audiobook versions of all of Abel’s novels so far, will read from the new text. CAROLINE GRAFE leads us through the evening.
