Like bitch, hold the fuck up, why was that in my grandma's book case? Jul 01, Mariele rated it did not like it Shelves: Jahrhunderts ist nicht im Interesse der Autorin. Mar 06, Sue rated it really liked it Shelves: Another excellent "historical" novel from this author. This one had less to do with any particular historical events but told a story about women set in a certain time turn of the 19th to 20th century in a small town near Freiburg, with an accurate description of how people at that time lived.
