Love in Case of Emergency

"Writing with the wry realism of Sally Rooney, one of Germany' most promising literary talents demonstrates her incisive understanding of the complexities of relationships and the depths of the human heart in this witty and compulsively readable novel about five very different women whose lives intersect. What happens when women fulfill their roles as wives, mothers, friends, lovers, sisters, and daughters? What comes next? Award-winning author Daniela Krien explores these questions in this powerful novel of friendship, love, loss, and everything in between. Krien explores the hopes, ambitions, challenges, and disappointments that shape modern women's lives, offering intimate insights on motherhood and childlessness, bereavement, infidelity, and divorce. At the heart of the novel are five very different women who find themselves hurtling towards a new way of living without knowing quite how they got there. A fresh take on women's lives, Love in Case of Emergency is a punchy yet sensitive novel that takes the notion of aspiring to find happiness and connection to new and exhilarating heights"-- In Leipzig, Germany, Paula endures a toxic marriage. Judith, a career-minded doctor, finds herself pregnant. Brida's writing is jeopardized by her husband's demands. Malika is neglected by her parents in favor of her aspiring actress sister, Jorinde. Five very different women-- all hurtling towards a new way of living without knowing quite how they got there. -- adapted from jacket
