Three Summers in Paris

Ulrike has nothing left to hold her in the country of prescribed paths in life. It is the summer of the century in 1989 when the 21-year-old is sitting on the train from Leipzig to Paris. Without speaking a word of French, but driven by immense curiosity, she discovers the city and with it a new world as an immigrant among immigrants. Patricia Holland Moritz's new novel tells of the courage of a generation in the last months of the GDR.
