wow, this sounds like a great read! Seems like it might be interesting to compare some aspects of the story with Claire Keegan's "Foster" - like the emotional journey of the protagonist and ideas of family and belonging. As a German I'm looking forward to the next stop of the world book tour - you made me pause and think about female German writers who might be considered part of the German canon and it took me some time to think of some. One book by a female German writer that I can highly recommend "The Mussel Fest" by Birgit Vanderbeke. It's broadly speaking about the effect an authoritarian father has on his family's dynamic and the depictions felt really typically German to me while reading it.
Thanks for the comment :) That is a great book (Foster) to compare "A Girl Returned" to. Both incredible stories!! Oh I just looked this book up. I will definitely keep an eye out for it :) Im glad it also took time for you (as a German) think of another Female German writer as it means I was looking in the right places and hopefully have picked some good books!!
