The Village Shop – Where the Journey Begins (Hungarian edition)

Dingelbach, 1923. Germany is facing severe economic difficulties. Money has lost its value, many men have been killed in the First World War, and small communities are largely left to fend for themselves. Widowed Marthe Haller runs a successful little village grocery shop together with her three daughters.

The shop is at the heart of village life. People come there to buy their groceries, hear the latest news and receive help with the various challenges they face.

Marthe's middle daughter, Frieda, is different from the others. She dreams of becoming an actress and is drawn to Frankfurt, the nearby big city, which is worlds apart from the small village in terms of development, lifestyle and attitudes. Frieda knows that she must challenge conventions, the people around her and, if necessary, even her mother in order to pursue her dream. She wants to become someone who can decide for herself about her life, career and freedom.

The first volume of Anne Jacobs' latest series is a powerful story about love, family, belonging and the timeless ability to start anew.
