Barbara Honigmann lives in Strasbourg, far from the famous center. Here, there are no parks, no European Parliament, and no cathedral. What exists is diversity: Orthodox and less Orthodox Jews, a three-legged dog, an elderly lady who is not deterred from planting on foreign balconies, a dark-skinned priest in white robes, and a completely naked person with their backside in the sun. In her street, Barbara Honigmann encounters the whole world in miniature, learns of tragedies, forms friendships, faces disappointments, but also the dreams of her neighbors. A book that only life itself can write.
