Die kaputten Schuhe

Rate this book
Diese sechs Erzählungen zeigen unsere Welt als eine, in der es keine Gewissheiten mehr gibt. Sie beschreiben die unüberbrückbare Kluft zu den vorangegangenen Generationen und die jungen, nüchternen Frauen, die mit Kraft und Ausdauer und beinahe heiterer Gelassenheit die alten Untugenden nicht lügen und nicht zulassen, dass andere lügen. Es sind Frauen, die die großen Tugenden (wie die Großzügigkeit) den kleinen Tugenden (wie die Sparsamkeit) vorziehen, "man sollte nie Geld, Gefühle oder Gedanken auf die Seite legen, später braucht man sie nicht mehr."
