Andrea Sawatzki

Andrea Sawatzki, one of the best-known German actresses, captivates not only on screen but also as an author. With her new novel Biarritz, the SPIEGEL bestselling author presents a moving mother-daughter story that tells of conflicts, reconciliation, and the search for closeness – with all the emotions that life brings. Emmi has been living in a retirement home for years. She has long since stopped speaking – and communicates only with her friend Marianne, who is also a resident of the home. In contrast, her daughter Hanna hardly seems to notice Emmi; perhaps she even rejects her, which is hard to say. Is it due to the lack of affection from her daughter, or are it the inextricable entanglements of pain and guilt? In an act of mutual redemption, Hanna decides to take one last big trip with Marianne and her mother. With Biarritz, Andrea Sawatzki impressively showcases her narrative talent.
