Hned vedle tradičního podniku rodiny Kochových vzbudí pozornost jistý konkurent se smyslem pro modernost. Zatímco se Hilda zoufale snaží přesvědčit rodiče o tom, že je třeba kavárnu modernizovat, je ohrožena i její těžce vydobytá láska. Se štěstím obou jejích bratrů to není o nic lepší: Wilhelm, obdivovaný ženami, se zaplétá do povrchních milostných hrátek, přičemž jeho srdce touží po ženě, která je pro něho nedosažitelná. A jeho starší bratr August se ke všemu po svém návratu z ruského válečného zajetí zamiluje do mladé Rusky, aniž tuší, že jeho volba hrozí rozštěpit rodinu... Venku svítí zcela nevinně předjarní slunce. Na lavičkách na ulici Warmer Damm posedávají lidé v kabátech a kloboucích a nastavují prvním paprskům tváře pobledlé zimním obdobím.

An essential look at the diarist’s legacy.”—Publishers Weekly In this innovative biography, Ruth Franklin explores the transformation of Anne Frank (1929–1945) from ordinary teenager to icon, shedding new light on the young woman whose diary of her years in hiding, now translated into more than seventy languages, is the most widely read work of literature to arise from the Holocaust.  Comprehensively researched but experimental in spirit, this book chronicles and interprets Anne’s life as a Jew in Amsterdam during World War II while also telling the story of the diary—its multiple drafts, its discovery, its reception, and its message for today’s world.
