Felicitas Fuchs reads in Gelsenkirchen about friendship and German history
Two girls are born in 1956, but their life paths could hardly be more opposite: Linda grows up under difficult conditions amid poverty, homes, and lack of reliability. Irmi comes from a wealthy family but also experiences uprooting due to illness, challenges, and an early move abroad.
Two biographies, half a century
When Irmi saves Linda's life in a dramatic situation, a friendship begins that accompanies both through five decades of West German history. Loss, cohesion, fractures, and new beginnings come together in an emotional family story with significant societal resonance.
Historical family history with literary closeness
Felicitas Fuchs, the pseudonym of the Cologne author Carla Berling, is dedicated to historical family novels. Her journalistic experience shapes her precise view of milieus, social differences, and the subtle conflicts from which personal fates arise. Previously, she published humorous novels under the name Carla Berling such as The Old Man Has to Go and Luck for Re-entrants.
A reading with dramatic power
The author is known for dramatically designed readings. In the local library Horst, an intimate reading atmosphere is created where voice, language, and character drawing become directly perceptible. The literary experience combines historical contextualization with emotional author encounters and shows how personal life stories open the cultural discourse about post-war society, belonging, and social origin.
