Home is a longing place (home saga 1): novel

Heimat is a place of yearning” – the beginning band to the moving home saga of Spiegel best-selling author Hanni Münzer (including “Honigtot” and “Marlene”) Before the raising storm of the Second World War, the dramatic fate of the Silesian Sadler family unfolds from 1928 to the present day–a story of love and suffering, of happiness and hope. Breslau, 1928: when young composer Laurenz encounters Annemarie, it is love from the first moment. For her, he wants to create a land of light and flowers. He knows nothing of Annemarie’s moving past and her dangerous secret. A family disaster forces Laurenz to take over the parental court. He, who never wanted to be a farmer, finds his happiness with Annemarie by his side and two extraordinary daughters: the highly gifted Kathi and the Franzi suffering from a rare disease. Although the signs of politics are already on storm, but everything is still peaceful in the German-Polish border region. When fifteen-year-old Kathi wins a nationwide math competition, she unwittingly attracts Berlin’s attention to the family. Her mother acts to protect her children – and thus steps off an avalanche of deadly events that will determine Kathis and Franzi’s fate for decades. “Münzer’s books have a message.” World on Sunday
