«Und das Glück ist anderswo» is the novel by Stefanie Zweig, published by Heyne Verlag in paperback (332 pages, in German).
The novel follows Liesel Procter, who returns in 1967 to Kenya with her family, the country that once served as a refuge for her parents. The narrative crosses from Africa to Europe, from yesterday to today, and from serenity to melancholy, culminating in the certainty that happiness almost always awaits elsewhere.
The story takes place in Kenya between 1967 and 1971 and unfolds within a British Jewish family, with Liesel Procter's return as the starting point.
Stefanie Zweig was a German Jewish writer and journalist. She is best known for her autobiographical novel, Nirgendwo in Afrika (1995), which was a bestseller in Germany. The novel is based on her early life in Kenya, where her family had fled to escape persecution in Nazi Germany. The film adaptation of the novel (2001) won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Her books have sold more than seven million copies, and have been translated into fifteen languages.
