Luba is humorous, sarcastic, a bit eccentric, and above all, completely insecure. She is pregnant and isn't quite sure if it fits into her plans. At first, she doesn't tell her partner Horst anything about it and keeps her thoughts to herself. The big plans she had for her life and career as a radio host seem to be slipping away from her. Nevertheless, she gradually warms up to the idea that Bernadette – as she names her baby – is sneaking into her life. With a lot of wit and irony, Selma Mahlknecht tells the story of a turning point in a young woman's life in her third novel, reflecting on women's and mother roles in our society as well as the state of the world.
