Arosa liest «Nebelflüchtige»

Nebelflüchtige by Flurina Badel is one of the most notable debut novels of recent years: Aita has left her home in the Lower Engadin after graduating from high school and has found a new life in Vienna, in the "capital on the Inn," as Johannes says for her sake. After all, the Inn in Passau, where it flows together with the Danube, is the wider of the two rivers. Only after the unexpected death of her mother does Aita return to her hometown, but it is no longer the home of her childhood. The old Engadin houses are being sold one by one to the highest bidder. The luxury real estate market is booming, and Aita's brothers also want to benefit from it. Aita can only let it happen sadly, while her old school friend Luis, who has taken over the village shop, increasingly desperately looks for strategies of resistance against the commercialization of nature and local traditions. Nebelflüchtige is a multi-voiced, poetic, and gripping novel about the clash of today's living worlds.
