Publisher's summary
Ostpreußen 1920: Frederike verbringt eine glückliche und unbeschwerte Kindheit auf dem Gut ihres Stiefvaters in der Nähe von Graudenz. Bis sie eines Tages erfährt, dass ihre Zukunft mehr als ungewiss ist: Ihr Erbe ist nach dem großen Krieg verloren gegangen, sie hat weder Auskommen noch Mitgift. Während ihre Freundinnen sich in Berlin vergnügen und ihre Jugend genießen, fühlt sich Frederike ausgeschlossen. Umso mehr freut sie sich über die Aufmerksamkeit des Gutsbesitzers Ax von Stieglitz. Wäre da nur nicht das beunruhigende Gefühl, dass den deutlich älteren Mann ein dunkles Geheimnis umgibt...
Ein berührende Familien-Saga, die auf wahren Begebenheiten beruht.

Editorial reviews
Stürmische Zeiten
Frederike hat mit elf Jahren schon viel verloren: Ihr Vater und ihr erster Stiefvater sind viel zu früh gestorben und sie hat im ersten Weltkrieg ihr gesamtes Erbe eingebüßt. Aber Freddy, wie sie genannt wird, ist sehr ehrgeizig und macht sich bei den Bediensteten auf dem Gut ihres zweiten Stiefvaters beliebt, indem sie kräftig mit anpackt. Und als sich der ältere Gutsbesitzer Ax von Stieglitz um sie bemüht, sieht es fast so aus, als würde doch noch alles gut für sie... Der neue historische Roman von Ulrike Renk beruht auf wahren Begebenheiten.

Lowen Ashleigh is a struggling writer on the brink of financial ruin when she accepts the job offer of a lifetime. Jeremy Crawford, husband of best-selling author Verity Crawford, has hired Lowen to complete the remaining books in a successful series his injured wife is unable to finish. Lowen arrives at the Crawford home, ready to sort through years of Verity's notes and outlines, hoping to find enough material to get her started. What Lowen doesn't expect to uncover in the chaotic office is an unfinished autobiography Verity never intended for anyone to read.

Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,706
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 1,137
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

On a serene night in 1953, Sally Mason, a dedicated wife and mother of two, drives a twisting road on her way home from night school. Suddenly, a mysterious bluish-white light descends over the road. Terrified, Sally slams on the brakes. After a flash of bright light nearly blinds her, she passes out, awakening to the persistent knock of a police officer on her car window. When she sees the officer and remembers her frightening experience, she screams and faints, and is rushed to the hospital.

Life in East Prussia between the two WW
Die Familie von Fennhusen hat offensichtlich Glück gehabt: kurz nach Ende des ersten Weltkrieges mangelt es ihnen an nichts.
Frederike, die älteste Tochter von Stefanie (welche in dritter Ehe mit Eric von Fennhusen verheiratet ist), verbringt ihre Kindheit auf dem Gut ihres Stiefonkels. Da sie weder Erbe noch Mitgift zu erwarten hat, drängt ihre Mutter sie, sich mit einer guten Partie zu verbinden. Doch ein Geheimnis umgibt den Mann den die Mutter ausgewählt hat.
Wird Frederike mit ihm ihr Glück finden?
Die Geschichte an sich hat mir ganz gut gefallen, gibt sie doch Einblicke in das Leben auf einem Gutshof in Ostpreußen zur Zeit zwischen den Weltkriegen. Sie basiert auf wahren Begebenheiten, und wird aus Frederikes Sicht geschildert. Das Buch ist flüssig geschrieben, hat aber recht überflüssige Wiederholungen; und diese Menschen können nicht lachen oder lächeln, sie grinsen nur -- und das gefühlt in jedem zweiten Satz. Vor meinem inneren Auge tauchte ständig jemand auf, der mir alle seine Zähne zeigt, wie die Grinsekatze aus Alice im Wunderland.
Ich finde es also von Sprache und Stil her nicht so gelungen, aber der Inhalt ist nett.
Nichts aufregendes, sieht man mal vom Verhalten Frederikes Mutter ab, das einen auf die Palme bringt, auch unter Berücksichtigung der damaligen Zeit.
Frederike verschläft die 'Goldenen 20er' in ihrem Provinznest und hat praktisch keine Lebenserfahrung. Sie ist arbeitsam und steht mit beiden Beinen fest auf der Erde, aber das kommt ihr zugute, wird sie doch dazu ausgebildet, später mal ein Gut zu führen.
Yara Blümel hat es ganz nett vorgelesen, aber mitgerissen hat sie mich nicht. Eine Sprecherin die den ostpreußischen Dialekt ein bisschen gekonnter rübergebracht hätte, wäre sicher nett gewesen.
Auf den zweiten Band darf man gespannt sein, denn die Geschichte geht weiter.

Wie war das Leben denn damals so als Gutstochter?
Eine sehr schöne Geschichte. Ich bin mittlerweile beim zweiten Buch. Wer das erste zu brav findet, sollte mal einen Realitäts-check machen und sich fragen, zu was für einem Verhalten die Mädels damals wohl erzogen worden sind. Mich erinnert es sehr an die Erzählungen meiner Oma.
Auch gelesen wird es sehr schön, auch mit Mundart, so dass es Spass macht zuzuhören.
Also definitiv zu empfehlen.
