Frankfurt in 1462: As a master furrier SN reads a letter with the news of the death of his only daughter, Sibylla, he dies at the shock of a heart attack.
Only the washerwoman Martha is present at his death and takes the letter in the first excitement in itself. When they were writing can be read later, its the thought comes at a very bold plan: Martha's own daughter, who lives a hopeless life as a laundress in a hospice outside the city, to Sibylla's taking place, for she saw the Wöhler-daughter always very similar. Luisa finds itself very quickly and well into the new life, but whatever she does from now on; the fear of discovery accompanies them at every turn. In order to continue his father's business, you must marry Sibylla a furrier, and then she meets the love of her life. No matter how she decides, there will always be a loss for them.
The Sibylla's character has absolutely captivated me. Despite her inner fears she is undeterred their way to building a company that has no equal. She represents her personal happiness at the back, because it makes the guild no choice. Would she follow her love, the skinning would be lost for them. So she marries an unloved man and plunges into the work. It is what we nowadays called a "workaholic" was a career woman in late middle age. Your whole behavior, their decisions to the success and personal happiness against their influence, and Sibylla change with time. What are you predicting an old fortune teller once, it would be safe only by the love seems to come true. Sibylla has torn. On the one hand, it constantly seeks her own self, at the same time period, however, from themselves and their memories of it, sits across this' individual needs.
is a fascinating idea that Sibylla has a real role model. At that time Margaret Weickmann lived in Frankfurt, and also is known about her life is not all that much, I find it interesting to consider how it could have been really good time.
Andrea Hörnke-Triess is a spokesperson for this audio book the perfect choice. She reads the story with great strength and also with great feeling, what the characters look even more intense. Sibylla's fate has captivated me from beginning to end, and I think it is a "round" story with a better outcome.
