The Lipburgers - a family of six outstanding women and three men whose fates have been shaped by dramatic experiences that have never been spoken of. The whole clan seems to have just one problem, which each person lives out in a different way.
Ruth-Maria Steurer-Baumann tells of the entanglements and pain that result from a life not lived authentically. The author takes us to an Austrian village in the twentieth century, to a time when silence is part of everyday life and public opinion counts for far more than personal happiness. Can there be a destiny or are all the parallels, sorrows and traumas due to chance?
