This House Is Mine

#WhereAreYouMonday

This Monday I‘m in Northern Germany, outside of Hamburg with a newly separated mother of a toddler and her eccentric Aunt Vera, who came to the village as an ethnic German refugee from what is now Poland after WWII. A bit romantic comedy, a bit family history, a bit satire on society, especially city life vs rural.

Altes Land: Roman | Dörte Hansen

pick

A story of loss, regret and redemption, told in loosely connected chapters that each focus on different characters. I smiled, I chuckled, I pondered my own lifeâ€˜s decisions. Despite making some questionable stylistic choices, Hansen excels at creating deep and ambiguous characters, the kind that could easily exist somewhere out there. Iâ€˜m excited to read her other two novels.

Lcsmcat Are they out in the open? Bluebirds usually nest in cavities. But robins‘ eggs are also a beautiful blue. I‘m curious to see when they hatch. (edited) 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Lcsmcat maybe they are Robin‘s‘ eggs! I was doing yard work and the moma flew out of the tree/bush beside me and scared me to death so I investigated.. I didn‘t touch near them! (edited) 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Andrew65 I guess I lost my words!! Thank you ðŸ¦ðŸ’™ (edited) 5y

Nute The nest is perfect and the eggs are beautiful!ðŸ’™ 5y

Tamra One of the most amazing colors of nature! 5y

Read-y_Picker @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks That‘s beautiful! But tread lightly... nesting Robins are viciously territorial. We had divebombers a few years ago on the balcony. 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Read-y_Picker yes, I know!! She flew away and I snapped it!! 5y

A very intimate & special author voice for her first book! I nearly cried a few times. Really enjoyed it.

I took this picture early in the morning shortly after we arrived. Later the beach was absolutely packed with tourists.

Finished my challenge with the excellent Altes Land by Dörte Hansen which my mom sent to me from Switzerland - thanks Mom! â¤ï¸ This book is available in English under the title This House is Mine, but I‘m not sure how well the beautiful language, the dry humor, the Plattdeutsch and razor sharp observations would translate. One of my favorite reads this year!

Read Harder challenge for 2017. I don't do challenges to increase my number of books read, but to expand the types of books I read and get out of my comfort zone. A debut novel to begin. . . .
