Eva Demski
On Love, Wealth, Death And Make-up
fiction
272pp
»This book, a work in which experience of life, intelligence and an elementary power of expressiveness form a seamless whole, has taught me a great deal – about love, which can be both beautiful and terrible; about wealth, which is both a blessing and a burden; about death which comes at us with all manner of weapons; and about make-up which in this case represents a person’s fight against mortality.«
Marcel Reich-Ranicki, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
»Demski’s perceptiveness is consistently as poetic as it is precise and she investigates with all her senses, never waxing sentimental.« Der Spiegel
»Indulging the reader into a well-balanced composure of charme, humour and wisdom.« Financial Times Deutschland
Eva Demski is justly considered a “modern Madame de Balzac”, focussing on our present day as she does with meticulous, critical and humorous eyes.
