Description
Franziska Gänsler's new novel «Orca» powerfully tells of friendship, longing, and the desire to belong. Cora leads an unremarkable life between supermarket and everyday life. Until the arrest of her childhood friend Olympia turns everything upside down... Memories of an intense summer return: shimmering heat, long days in an abandoned house, and the feeling of finally being seen. But the closer the two become, the more their connection falls out of balance. Between first boundary crossings, new acquaintances, and growing radicalism, Cora begins to get entangled in a web of lies. Franziska Gänsler paints a portrait of a generation searching for identity, stability, and meaning—and tells of the destructive power of loyalty and the price of belonging.
