«Jenseits der Wasserscheide» is Kathryn Lasky's historical adventure novel, published by Oetinger in hardcover (206 pp., in German).
In 1849, Meribah, a fourteen-year-old girl, sets out with her father in a caravan of settlers and gold seekers bound for California. Both belong to the Amish community, and the long wagon journey across the continent becomes a hard trial; the novel explores the relationship between father and daughter, life on the frontier and survival during the gold rush.
Originally published as «Beyond the Divide» in 1983, this 1986 German edition features a translation by Irmela Brender.
A novel suitable for young adult readers and for those who enjoy stories of pioneers, the Wild West and the gold rush.
