The late noughties, early 2010s in a small East German town. In her novel Die schönste Version (Rowohlt Verlag, 2024), Ruth-Maria Thomas tells the story of Jella and Yannick. It's about the first great love that wants to do everything right - until it tips over. Die schönste Version is the story of an awakening, recognition, accusation, a great introspection: Ruth-Maria Thomas writes about becoming a woman, being a woman, about bodies, desires and deep abysses.
