Floating in My Mother's Palm
Floating in My Mother's Palm | Ursula Hegi
2 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Floating in My Mother's Palm is the compelling and mystical story of Hanna Malter, a young girl growing up in 1950's Burgdorf, the small German town Ursula Hegi so brilliantly brought to life in her bestselling novel Stones from the River. Hanna's courageous voice evokes her unconventional mother, who swims during thunderstorms; the illegitimate son of an American GI, who learns from Hanna about his father; and the librarian, Trudi Montag, who lets Hanna see her hometown from a dwarf's extraordinary point of view. Although Ursula Hegi wrote Floating in My Mother's Palm first, it can be read as a sequel to Stones from the River.

Published before Hegi's Stones from the River (which I posted about not too long ago!) but taking place later chronologically, this collection of short stories focuses on the same small German town, but this time from the perspective of a young girl named Hanna Malter. It touches quite a bit on her relationship with her unconventional mother. #booksaboutmothers #maybookflowers
