«Das Mädchen im Pelzmantel» is Amy Bloom's novel, published by Hoffmann und Campe in hardcover (270 pages, in German).
Elizabeth Taube receives little attention from her parents and grows up seeking love and affection. That longing leads her into a complicated relationship with an English teacher and an intense love with Huddie Lester. Her friendship with Mrs. Hill, an elderly nearly blind woman, is not enough to protect her from desire. With humor and realism, Amy Bloom portrays the passage to maturity.
The German edition was published in 1998; the original English novel, Love Invents Us, was published in 1996.
For readers of contemporary fiction and coming-of-age novels with a female protagonist.
Amy Beth Bloom is an American writer and psychotherapist. She is professor of creative writing at Wesleyan University, and has been nominated for the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.
