When My Sister Learnt to Fly

  • A story about loss, told sympathetically
  • With vignettes by Hildegard Müller

A story which slowly reveals its secrets

Ever since his sister Lina decided to be a superheroine, Anton has had his hands full. Lina is very brave, but she gets herself and him in embarrassing situations all the time. She urgently needs a manager: Anton. But Lina demands that her manager proves his courage, and Anton has to face his – quite numerous – fears. For example, he has to admit to himself that nobody but him is able to see Lina. The truth is that Lina died some time ago –
and Anton slowly comes to terms with that. Uticha Marmon tells this story of loss in a very touching but lighthearted way.
