Shortly before her hundredth birthday, Marietta is seized by a strange restlessness. She doesn't care much about birthdays, but is more concerned with what is happening around her. Through an encounter with a Syrian refugee boy, with whom she immediately feels a connection, she finds the courage to face her dreams. "The novel is touching ... and makes you want to call your own grandmother." Jana Ballweber, Frankfurter Rundschau. Alternative venue in case of bad weather: Jugendforum Herdern, Schlüsselstr. 5
