The Cherry Tree

Více o knize

Every Wednesday Ingbert Wagner takes his noonday meal at Sonja Spielberg's table, where she entertains a few paying guests of high caliber with her delicious culinary offerings. This is not enough for Ingbert, who hopes to join the ranks of those who share evening repasts with her as well, for Ingbert is in love with Sonja, although she is many years his elder. And how does the self-effacing Sonja feel about this? And what is the magic of the early blossoming cherry tree? Sonja's sister and a panoply of hungry and voluble gentlemen, as well as Ingbert's fiancée, circle around this unlikely pair in Gabriele Wohmann's tale of alienation and rejuvenation, the offspring of the dinner table. Gabriele Wohmann, born in 1932 in Darmstadt, is a respected and much honored writer of stories, novels and poetry.
