»Hilarious, deeply sad. The fact that Charlotte's fate reads as an example of the shattering of an entire generation makes it important. In view of the war in Ukraine, it is also terribly topical.«

»[. . .] a truly exceptional reading pleasure!«

»We laugh and we cry while reading, and we congratulate the author on a marvellous, unforgettable book, written out of pain and love.«

»Bergmann writes with so much warmth and wit.«

»The author succeeds at telling this grim story with wit, ironic self-reflection and subtle humour, even when his mother acts uninhibitedly and feistily meshugge.«

»With an artistically daring balance of natural empathy and ironic distance, he contours a psychologically pungent biopic in rhapsodic style.«

»A pure pleasure.«
