A chance encounter one afternoon with Stella, a former schoolfriend who has, herself, gone on to 'greater' things, wakes Luisa up to her disappointments. With a school trip and a magic show on the horizon, Luisa's hold on reality slowly begins to unravel.

Book by Thomas, Ruth

Die späten Nullerjahre in einer ostdeutschen Kleinstadt: «Die schönste Version» erzählt die Geschichte von Jella und Yannick, von der ersten großen Liebe, die alles richtig machen will. Bis irgendwann doch alle Gewissheiten ins Wanken geraten. Was ist noch intensiv, was schon dysfunktional, ja: gefährlich? Was tun, wenn Grenzen überschritten werden? Und wer bestimmt eigentlich, wo diese verlaufen? Mit stilistischer Brillanz, großer Leichtigkeit und Drastik erzählt Ruth-Maria Thomas in ihrem funkelnden Debütroman von den schönsten Dingen. Und den schrecklichsten.

wie ich frau bin und immer eine meine Hand hält, meine Schulter streicht, meine Geschichten hört, an Küchentischen, an Schreibtischen, am Telefon, auf Sofakissen, Duschvorlegern und Parkbänken, immer eine, die mir Mut macht, der ich mein Herz ausschütte, an Sandstränden, in Badewannen, Betten, Zelten, auf Picknickdecken, immer eine, die da ist

Syrový román o přátelství, lásce i manipulaci. První desetiletí nového milénia pomalu končí. Během léta na východoněmeckém maloměstě rozkvétá láska mezi Jellou a Yannickem. Jenže idylka netrvá dlouho – z mladíkových výbuchů vzteku se stane něco, co nejde vzít zpět. Když Jella unikne pokusu o uškrcení, dočká se na policejní stanici jen nedůvěřivých pohledů a absurdních obvinění. Jak se prvotní okouzlení změní ve svíravý strach? Vzpomínky na dospívání během 90. let se skládají v introspektivní mozaiku přátelství, touhy, ženství a hlubokých propastí.
