Fire

Rachel - a psychologist in a private clinic - books a house in the countryside for herself and her husband, a university professor, to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life for the duration of her vacation. However, a fire occurs there, the rental agreement is terminated, and Rachel reluctantly agrees to her mother's friend's offer to stay in her country estate. Against the backdrop of a measured, unpretentious, and uneventful village life, a gradual transformation of the characters takes place - modern German intellectuals experiencing a family crisis and painfully overcoming their internal disconnection from each other. After the internationally acclaimed bestseller "The Extremes of Love", contemporary German writer Daniela Krin created "Fire" - a novel about the biblical foundations of the interconnection of the natural and the social, the material and the spiritual, the accidental and the regular, the worldly and the religious, the personal and the communal, the eternal and the temporal in the life of any person - and about the motives of the choices we make at every point in our existence.
