Andrea Sawatzki on tour with her new novel Biarritz

Andrea Sawatzki, one of Germany's best-known actresses, not only inspires on screen, but also as an author. With her new novel Biarritz, the SPIEGEL bestselling author presents a moving mother-daughter story that tells of conflicts, reconciliation and the search for closeness - with all the emotions that life writes.

Emmi has lived in an old people's home for years. She has long since stopped speaking - and only communicates with her friend Marianne, who is also a resident of the home. Her daughter Hanna, on the other hand, hardly seems to notice Emmi, perhaps she even rejects her, it's hard to say for sure.

Is it a lack of attention from her daughter, or is it the inextricable entanglements of pain and guilt? In an act of mutual redemption, Hanna decides to go on one last big trip with Marianne and her mother.

With Biarritz, Andrea Sawatzki impressively showcases her narrative talent. Following the success of Brunnenstraße, she once again devotes herself to the subtle nuances of family relationships - a novel full of intensity, warmth and quiet irony. Her unique storytelling turns the everyday into great literature, full of heart and humanity.

Andrea Sawatzki will present Biarritz on an exclusive reading tour. She will not only provide insights into the book's genesis, but will also read selected passages. With her unique stage presence and charismatic narrative style, she makes every reading an unforgettable experience
