Franziska Linkerhand

Brigitta Reimann is one of the foremost representatives of GDR literature and German socialist realism. The writer worked on her most famous novel "Franziska Linkerhand" for ten years. However, the last chapter remained unwritten. The writer died at thirty-nine from... breast cancer. Ben is the love of Franziska's life, to whom she reveals everything about herself. Yet Ben does not exist. He is merely an image that Franziska projects onto her companions. Architecture is another passion of the girl. She wants to build a new city. She wants to design apartment buildings with cozy apartments and hopes they won't be turned into cells with televisions. The search for the love of a lifetime and a love for architecture intertwines in one novel. The reader is drawn into the whirlwind of the fate of a complex heroine. This story is told in two voices. The voice of Franziska and the voice of the author. They interrupt each other, complement each other, and guide the reader from one story to another.
