The summer holidays are over, school starts again. Therefore, the time of the endless reading on the beach of the Baltic Sea or in the evening is over after a hike in the Alps. As my holiday but has made just as I shall now on preparing the books I've read.
Sooooo, let's go with "The Flying Trautmann" by Miriam Toews
The book goes to Hattie, her niece Thebes and her nephew Logan. Hattie, in Paris lives, get one night a phone call from Thebes, which now asks Hattie to come. For Min, Thebes mother and sister, Hattie, is depressed and her condition has deteriorated to the point that they need treatment. But now the father of two children moved out long ago. Hattie decides now to go to America and with her 11-year-old niece, who has matted hair purple and, like a hip hop artist speaks, and her 15-year-old nephew Logan, who made the grade provisional driving license and strong in puberty (Thebes calls it "revolutionary"), to make their way to seek the father who has settled somewhere near the border with Mexico. The three go with her broken Los van, across America. The book is really funny, the dialogue while driving to serene moments, but it's also sad and makes you think, because on the trip noted each of the three how much he or she is affected by the disease by Min but failed to make allegations.
The book is still more funny than sad, and therefore a great book for a long train ride or a nice evening beach (about 250 pages).
