Description
Dörte is an orphan and heiress of a considerable fortune, living in a castle near Lähn with her governess. However, before she reaches adulthood, she must beg the estate administrators for every penny due to the poor economic situation and inflation that is sharply rising after World War I. Her cousin Ursel is only twelve years old, but she already knows that the world can be a truly dark place. The girl’s mother remarries. The charming stepfather Peter Grupen soon shows his true colors. Now, every day is an endless nightmare, but no one believes her. Not even her mother and grandmother. And if they do believe her, they turn a blind eye to that horrifying reality. Because in a world ruled by men, women must remain silent and obedient. A novel that, in its form, refers to the mutual correspondence of justifying victims. A novel about the tragedy of abused women, deadly manipulation, an unjust legal system, and societal stereotypes, based on true events. A tragic story that happened a hundred years ago, yet remains relevant today.
