Auf der Straße heißen wir anders

Everyone in Karla's family knows what it feels like to not belong. Karla experienced it as a child in Bremen-Nord. Her father Avi in a monastery school in Jerusalem. Her grandmother Maryam as a guest worker in Germany. Her great-grandmother Armine on the streets of Istanbul. In her acclaimed novel "Auf der Straße heißen wir anders" (Klett-Cotta), ZEIT journalist and author Laura Cwiertnia follows the traces of an Armenian family over four generations. With sensitivity and subtle humor, she reveals her experiences, which are so profound that they still resonate today.
