Finally, they can sing together again! Even before the coronavirus, rehearsing with their women's choir was the highlight of the week for Alice, Marie and their older friend Lena. Their friendships have survived the pandemic, but so have their conflicts. Alice, who succeeds in almost everything professionally, suffers from the fact that Marie no longer speaks to her, while Lena has no illusions about aging. When Sophie, a lonely student, joins the choir, an emotional upheaval begins – especially for Alice: she suddenly discovers feelings that surprise even herself.
A choir as a mirror of an entire urban society. In her new novel, Hahn portrays women from three generations with their sensitivity and ruthlessness, with empathy and relentlessness.
Anna Katharina Hahn lives and works in Stuttgart. Her novels are bestsellers and long-running bestsellers, such as her 2009 debut "Kürzere Tage" or her latest novel "Aus und davon". In 2021 she received the Order of Merit of the State of Baden-Württemberg
