"Daheim" by Judith Hermann, a German writer, was published in 2021. The narrator is a woman whose name is not mentioned until the end of the story, who works in a cigarette factory, and the seductive offer of magic changes the course of her life. Daheim is the story of people who are all in search of a familiar and warm homeland and in struggle to pass from the old world to the new. Seekers who try to overcome their mundane and everyday life and will do anything to achieve this goal.
In this book, Yudit Herman praises life more than her previous works. It speaks of memory and effort; Trying to redeem a fragmented past. Herman's characters fill their lives with meaning at the moment and spend them at the moment. "House" is a transparent narrative from untied knots to middle age. Herman is deeply involved in existential questions: which is the dominant hand on our destiny? How to deal with the end of a love story? How to accept loneliness? How to let go and rebuild?
This stylish writer tells about a woman who leaves behind her previous home to experience everything again in a small house by the sea; Will, friendship, love, and the meaning of life. "House" is about a woman who, after separating from her husband, seeks to recreate her knowledge of herself, the surrounding world, and concepts as old as human life. In this work, Herman seems to have come out of his skin and watched the world from another point of view. And of course, many critics have considered this work as an autobiography in middle age.
Why is it good to read "home"?
Because it goes beyond our expectations; Because we think we know what is going to happen, but the course of the narrative changes in a secret way and leaves us with a question that we have often deliberately avoided: What should we do with this life?
From 1999 to 2022, Judith Herrmann won eight German literary awards, including the Friedrich Hölderin Award in 2009. Also, two short films and one feature film have been adapted from her works. He started his career by writing short stories and until today he has written two novels: First Love and House. Judith Hermann's works have sold more than one and a half million copies worldwide.
