About the Book

Zwischen Angola und Portugal, zwischen Rebellion und Tragodie findet ein Bruch statt – einer, der eine neue Welt eroffnet, der zeigt, was uns ausmacht. Die intimste Wahrheit ist diese: Vitoria kann ihre Mutter nicht fur sich beanspruchen. 1965. Angola. Der Freiheitskrieg gegen die portugiesische Vorherrschaft nimmt seinen Lauf. Mittendrin: Rosa Chitula und ihre Familie. Viele suchen Sicherheit und Stabilitat in Lissabon, verlassen das Land. Doch Rosa rebelliert, will kampfen – und wird das Gesicht der Unabhangigkeitsbewegung. Die zweijahrige Vitoria, Rosas Tochter, flieht mit ihren Großeltern nach Portugal und dann – nichts. Ein Schnitt, der nicht heilen wird. 2003. Lissabon. Vitoria Queiroz da Fonsecas Leben besteht aus Erinnerungen: Da sind Bilder, Geruche, der Geschmack von Sauermilch. Da sind die Saulen eines Traumas, das Vitoria nicht uberwinden kann: zu wissen, dass ihre Mutter ein Land mehr liebte als ihre Tochter. Denn wie damit umgehen, wenn da niemand ist, der Antworten auf die eigenen Fragen geben kann ... Wie sieht das Leben aus, wenn man in einen Kampf um Freiheit hineingeboren wird, der nicht der eigene ist? Wie verstehen, dass die Geschichte ubermachtig geworden ist, sich hineingedrangt hat zwischen sich selbst und die Moglichkeiten, die man vielleicht gehabt hatte? Vitoria kennt ihre Mutter nicht, kennt ihren Kampf nicht. Aber sie tragt die Revolte in sich, genauso wie Rosa. Sie lasst Lissabon, ihren Verlobten und Job hinter sich, getrieben von dem Drang, sich selbst zu begegnen. Doch das Luanda des 21. Jahrhunderts besteht aus Kontrasten, ist abweisend und Heimat zugleich. Hier gehoren die Menschen einem Land, das nicht immer das ihre war, das nicht immer das ihre ist. Als Vitoria in Huambo die Einzigartigkeit von Angola entdeckt, sich selbst auf der Spur, trifft sie auf die Geister einer fremden Vergangenheit und muss lernen, dass es Risse gibt, die zu tief sind, um noch geflickt zu werden. Wir schreiben Formen der Gewalt. In einer klaren Sprache erzahlt Yara Monteiro von der Gewalt der Geschichte. Einer Gewalt, die wir spuren, aber nicht aufhalten konnen. Die vergangen ist, aber fur immer bestehen bleiben wird. Wie fuhlt es sich an, nach Wurzeln zu greifen, ohne zu wissen, ob man sie fest im Boden verankern oder ausreißen will? Und was bedeutet Freiheit, wenn sie alles ist und gleichzeitig nicht das, was wir fur uns gefordert haben? Ein Debut, das fesselt: kompromisslos.
