A dinner party. "Don't we have any salt?" asks Helene's husband Johannes. Helene gets up from the table and throws herself off the balcony. Seemingly without cause, without a hint, without a history. The overwhelmed widower and the three children are left behind. Sarah, Helene's friend and actually unattached, steps in to help the family. She runs the risk of becoming a convenient permanent solution and forgetting her own life. Lola, the daughter of the dead, tries to find her own, self-confident way between grief, concern for her siblings and male harassment. And to come to terms with the emotions that flow through her. The strongest of these is anger.
Mareike Fallwickl's novel Die Wut, die bleibt (2022) tells of unseen care work, excessive demands, role models, contradictions in life and between generations and, above all, female empowerment.
Mareike Fallwickl is an author and literary mediator. Publications include Dunkelgrün fast schwarz (2018) and Das Licht ist hier viel heller (2019). Her new novel Und alle so still was published in April 2024.
