Neubrandenburg Book Spring: The author from Hohendorf will be reading from her romance novel. However, the historian will not only be reading aloud, but also chatting from the "sewing box". She will draw on her wealth of experience as a curator and museologist of many years' standing.
Nora is a curator with heart and soul. She has buried her dream of growing old with a man and throws herself into her work. She wants to uncover the secret of the illegitimate child of the artist Wilhelmine Ernst, who died suddenly in 1933. In the process, she meets the eccentric, choleric collector and artist Karl. After an unsuccessful start, the two become closer in their private lives. But the loner Karl is a burnt child and has difficulty building trust. All his life, women have left him, starting with his mother. When Nora's boss makes a serious mistake, he withdraws into his shell. Nora has to come up with something to lure him out again. She has long known that he is worth fighting for.
