On a cold, damp Sunday in February 1959, the men of Switzerland decide whether to grant women the right to vote. But what about Swiss women on that day?
Meet Vreni, a hardworking farmer’s wife, her daughter, Margrit, who seems to have found success as an office girl in Bern, Esther who is working as a cleaner and trying to get her son back, and Beatrice, who has put her heart and soul into the yes campaign for the women's vote.
A compelling story of four unforgettable characters whose paths are connected on this voting day by the fate of a ten-year-old foster child. Published independently in Switzerland, the novella is also available in German, French and Italian.
