MARTINA BEHM
A village, a white doe and a grim prophecy: MARTINA BEHM reads from her novel ‘Hier draußen’.
In Fehrdorf, everyone seems to know their place – except Ingo and Lara, who have moved there from the city with their children. When Ingo hits a white doe, the village is thrown into turmoil. For superstition has it that whoever kills her has only a year left to live.
With dry humour and a sharp eye, Behm paints a multi-layered picture of life in the countryside – intelligent, unsentimental and surprising.
A trained journalist and graduate in economics, she lived in Santiago de Chile and Hamburg before returning to her home region of Schleswig-Holstein. Alongside her writing, she is internationally renowned as a knitwear designer.
