In this world, Rahel asks her husband to buy a bottle of Scheurebe for dinner, buys a book by Elizabeth Strout for the vacation, sighs quietly. Peter, the husband, despairs of his students and causes a shitstorm when he reads 'Frau' from a list to address a non-binary person.
Things pick up when her daughter arrives in their vacation home (a farm in the Uckermark) and the generation Z bashing begins.

Mediocre style to a degree of becoming annoying. The characters are clichéd. Krien doesn't shy away from letting them repeat prejudices about the young generation, politics and society. Their faded love almost takes a back seat. Redeemed by letting them root for critical analysis and classic virtues, matching up with the personal prejudices of readers of her generation (at least mine). A few diamonds in the rough.
