Uta Franck has brought along her new book: "Eine fast normal Frau". In her novel, the author describes the origins and development of the Kelkheim Authors' Group and the Kelkheim Artists' Circle. The book is also about the life of a single woman after a long marriage.

"Maren, who was subjected to a long period of psychological oppression and violence in her marriage, is the subject of the book. This novel begins with her moving out of the house they shared. Through her subsequent writing success and the subsequent publication of her poems and short prose, she frees herself from the consequences of her husband's disparagement. Friendships help to strengthen her self-confidence. Step by step, she learns to fend off other people's unreasonable claims and demands. Only in the newly won freedom of her single life does she become a "cheerful and self-confident woman" again.

In her novel "Dodo", Uta Franck's friend Hanna Dunkel impressively describes the experiences of a father's two daughters Dodo and Biene. The father had treated his two daughters to a day out in the fresh sea air. They travel on an excursion boat from the Hamburg jetties to Heligoland. The author gives an impressive account of the trip past the waving children and the houses on the steep banks of Blankenese with its many steps. During the subsequent coffee stop below deck, they meet two young men. With a deep sense of humor, they rent the two seats to the men who join them. A relaxed conversation develops between them. It was a day that was to change their lives. "
