Youth
before German reunification – no future and first love!
Youth
before German reunification – no future and first love!
Growing up, Judith is told how lucky she is to be living
in safety and prosperity. But her teenage years are overshadowed by the Cold
War, forest decline, the new disease AIDS and Chernobyl. Nevertheless, Judith
and her friends manage to experience normal teenage years: They throw parties, fall
in love, and support environmental protests. Then the end of the Cold War
announces itself: In 1989, the Berlin Wall falls and nothing stays the same.
In this exciting coming-of-age novel Kirstin
Breitenfellner recounts a teenage life in the 1980ies – and comments on issues
which are just as relevant today: climate change and radioactive safety, the uncertainty
that accompanies being young.
