The conflict between fathers and children is as old as the world and described in countless books. But it turns out that here, too, a new word can be said. Jan Weiler convincingly proves it by telling the story of Kim and her father, Ronald Papen, whom she first knew through a faded old photograph in the family album. Did she want to meet him? Hardly—she didn’t know anything about him. Was she happy when her mother sent her to her father as punishment? Again, not really. And who is happy about punishment? And finally, could she imagine that meeting this strange man—the most likely unlucky in the world dealer in awnings—would become a significant event in her life? It’s more than that—it will turn her life upside down by one hundred and eighty degrees.
