Our wonderful years

A historical novel. A country before our time. The Federal Republic of Germany. It's June 20, 1948. The new money's here. 40 DM "bounty" for each. For the three so different sisters Ruth, Ulla and Gundel, daughters of the respected factory owner Wolf in Altena, for Tommy, the charming improviser, for the ambitious young businessman Benno, for Bernd, for whom safety is the most important thing. What will the six friends do with their money? What dreams and hopes are they trying to realize? Fated together, they experience the Federal Republic of the D-Mark over three generations. Authentic and rich in detail, Peter Prange's epic family novel is a mirror of our biographies - and a true German fairy tale.
