descriptif du fournisseur

In her gripping autobiography, spanning continents, countries, and cultures, Claudia Bauder describes the eventful and unusual lifestyle which her family led in the 1960s and 70s, at a time when flights overseas were an exception and moving across the ocean was almost unthinkable. Due to the father's employer, this German family moved abroad several times, from Germany to South America, to the USA, back to Germany, to Canada, seemingly effortlessly. The family's lifestyle was characterized by new beginnings and farewells, coping with a new language, adapting to cultural customs, and the feeling of being a foreigner. Finally, they move to Canada and over the seven years there, Canada feels like the country they wish to call home. Then, a stroke of fate changes their lives completely. The story tells of comical situations, misunderstandings, but also of overcoming enormous challenges, changes and prejudices that all family members were faced with. A book full of tears of joy and despair in equal measure. Experience, or count, how many times the suitcases were packed, whether just for a short trip or again for a completely new chapter in life. An extraordinary family story awaits you.
