Berlin meets dog love: Astrid Müller reads from her debut novel

The district central library in Spandau will be the setting for a special reading on September 19, 2024: Astrid Müller presents her debut work "Twenty Years - Dogs, Heat and Love". This event not only promises literary enjoyment, but also exciting insights into human relationships and inner conflicts.

In your novel we encounter the main character Dr. Leonora Hildt, an agricultural scientist with a strong sense of independence. While she feels comfortable in her home and work in Berlin, her calm existence is turned upside down when she meets Anthony Fields, a younger, charming macho who appears at her side with his bitch Joy. This relationship between humans and dogs becomes a catalyst for an unexpected attraction that unfolds in the middle of an oppressive heat wave. Leonora is faced with deep buried fantasies that she would not have expected.

The challenges of attraction

The development between Leonora and Anthony plays a crucial role on a Thai island where they are forced to face the challenges of their different worlds. The story not only addresses the attraction between the two, but also the inner struggles that can arise from social clichés and personal fears. This gives readers the opportunity to think about the complexity of relationships and the fight against social norms.

Astrid Müller, who is behind this novel, has an exciting background. She studied social pedagogy and public health health sciences and also profiled herself as a travel author through her travels to Southeast Asia. Her previous work, "enlightenment for doubters", reflects your personal and spiritual discoveries. So she now introduces the experiences from her life to the fictional stories of her novel, which makes him appear particularly authentic.

The reading will take place on September 19 at 7 p.m. in the reading café of the district central library in Spandau. Entry is free and all interested parties are welcome to enter into dialogue with the author. In order to secure a place, you are asked to register in good time. This is an excellent opportunity to experience more about the creation of the novel and to experience the passion that Müller is in her letter.
