Lilli Tollkien

Description

About the book A childhood and youth in a state of emergency and a girl who becomes the heroine of her own story. Lale grows up in the 80s in a Berlin men's commune where parties are celebrated and revolutions are planned. She is allowed to stay awake as long as she wants, eat sweets, and watch TV forever. But she longs for security and reliability while her own boundaries are repeatedly crossed. On the narrow edge between freedom and neglect, Lale searches for her way, stumbles on the edges, and years later finds support in storytelling itself. Authentic, vulnerable, with poetic tension.
