Ergebnis für "Elser" in Coming of Age

Else ist eine Frau, die wir von all ihren Seiten kennenlernen dürfen: als sudetendeutsches vertriebenes Kind, bei ihrem sozialen Aufstieg, der angeblich nur ihrem Ehemann Willy zu verdanken ist, und bei ihrer emotionalen Emanzipationsreise, als sie entscheidet, heim¬lich einen Taxischein zu machen.

The sacrifices I made for them, I made willingly. A better man would've walked away by now, but I never claimed to be any good. I only promised myself I'd keep enough distance. If I'd learned one thing from my past, it was that love came in different forms.
