Women's Fiction
Adaptation is everything. Inge Lohmark is well aware of
that; after all, she's been teaching biology for more than
thirty years. But nothing will change the fact that her
school is going to be closed in four years: In this
dwindling town in the eastern German countryside, there are
fewer and fewer children. Inge's husband, who was a cattle
inseminator before the reunification, is now breeding
ostriches. Their daughter, Claudia, emigrated to the United
States years ago and has no intention of having children.
Everyone is resisting the course of nature that Inge teaches
every day in class. When Inge finds herself experiencing intense feelings for a
ninth-grade girl, her biologically determined worldview is
shaken. And in increasingly outlandish ways, she tries to
save what can no longer be saved.
