They live, with their four children, in an apartment building in Berlin, where their lease is controlled by some of their closest friends. Those same friends live communally nearby, in a house they co-own and have built together. Only Resi and Sven, the token artists of their social circle, are renting. As the years have passed, Resi has watched her once-dear friends become more and more ensconced in the comforts and compromises of money, success, and the nuclear family. After Resi's latest book openly criticises stereotypical family life and values, she receives a letter of eviction. Incensed by the true natures and hard realities she now sees so clearly, Resi sets out to describe the world as it really is for her fourteen-year-old daughter, Bea. As Berlin, that creative mecca, crumbles under the inexorable march of privatisation and commodification, taking relationships with it, Resi is determined to warn Bea about the lures, traps, and ugly truths that await her."--from Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Women authors $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Parenthood $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Berlin (Germany) $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Domestic fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Jones, Lucy, $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015043.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20210803014451.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=20F70262F42411EB9533E30756ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
