«Emma Blau» is the literary fiction novel by Ursula Hegi, published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in hardcover (561 pages, in German).
At the beginning of the 20th century, German immigrant Stefan Blau arrives in New Hampshire and builds the Wasserburg, an apartment block beside a lake. Generations of the Blaus live there, with betrayals, inheritance disputes, thwarted loves and two world wars. His granddaughter Emma, bound to Stefan by that passion, fights after his death to save the building.
It is the third installment of the Burgdorf Cycle saga; its original title, The Vision of Emma Blau, was translated by Susanne Goga-Klinkenberg. Published in 2002.
A work aimed at readers of literary fiction and historical novels who appreciate family sagas and generational portraits.
