"More than a stunning debut. It is the announcement of a bold new literary voice"
—Stephen Chbosky, author of The Perks of Being a Wallflower

If my aunt is telling me stories about you, you are a wonderful, brave, untouchable, mysterious, cruel and a very hurted person.
Even if you are my grandmother I never knew you, at least my dad saw you three times in his life at the first you born him at the other two you yell at him. You where addicted to morphine but freed yourself from it, you wrote a book of really amazing poems, you were in love with a Jewish, although you lived during the 2nd WW in Germany and Austria, Your live is always going to be a big mysterious question tag and I would have Loved meeting you in person or at least come to know you some better.
I do admire you for your unbreakable strength and I do loathe you for the way you have treated your children and for the heritage you left behind.
I think we would have been able to stand each other good.
By the way, we have saved your book from Amazon last week, we are going to take good care of it.
Vani has got four little children, it doesn’t comes easy to her. Chrissi is married now, they are great together, I thought you would want to know about them, they were important to you once. Thank you. Your grandchild
