Caroline Wahl – Gale Force 17
“Her debut was the best seller of last year and the sequel ‘Gale Force 17’ once again casually hits us right in the heart. How does she do it?” wonders not only Süddeutsche Zeitung. Caroline Wahl is the new star of German-language literature. After telling the story of Tilda in her celebrated debut “22 Lengths”, Wahl now turns her attention to Tilda’s younger sister Ida in Gale Force 17. After her alcoholic mother dies, Ida leaves the small town where she has spent her entire life. She has no plan, just a big lump of anger, grief and guilt in her stomach. Finally, she ends up on the island of Rügen, where she meets Knut, the local pub owner, and his wife Marianne, who soon take Ida into their home. And she meets Leif, who is just as damaged as she is. Suddenly, everything in Ida’s life is a bit easier, a bit more bearable. Until her world is soon turned upside down again.
