The Upward Facing Dog & Her Twisted Human
In this little series, I’ll share a few stories of my dogs gently outsmarting me when it comes to life’s deeper truths.
Sierra Clara
“This book touched my soul. The pages flew by far too quickly…”
Single mother Sabine moves with her young daughter Clara from Munich to a remote Alpine village. The community reacts with unsettlement: Clara's father is apparently a Black man. How is this supposed to fit into the neat order? From the perspective of the sensitive young Clara, the women's struggle for respect and freedom becomes tangible.
Narrated in a voice as light as mountain air, the story awakens a desire for distant horizons. Between spectacular soccer goals, first love, and the transformation of an egocentric actor into a father figure, readers travel through the airspace between Germany and Canada.
"A novel in which a nostalgia resonates that seems to arise from one's own childhood."
"Karin Eger has a magnificent writing style that captivates me from the very beginning and draws me into the story with incredible ease. The novel captures you wherever your thoughts are."* (*Readers on LovelyBooks/Amazon)
Karin Eger | Author
Stories of strong women of our time, read from the depths of the experience – that's how my novels can be described. In my books and my blog, I write about what holds us together - in our families, in the world and within ourselves - and what breaks us apart.
