      Una coraggiosa infermiera pediatrica lotta per i suoi piccoli pazienti e per la propria felicità nella coinvolgente saga di Waldfriede. Berlino-Zehlendorf, 1933: mentre il Waldfriede guadagna prestigio e il direttore della clinica Conradi viene accolto nella Società Chirurgica di Berlino, nuvole oscure si addensano con l'ascesa al potere dei nazisti. Il Waldfriede e il suo personale sono improvvisamente sotto osservazione. La giovane infermiera Lilly è preoccupata per i suoi pazienti vulnerabili e per le persone a lei care. I suoi sentimenti per il dottor Rudolph Kirsch vanno oltre un semplice rapporto professionale, e lei intuisce che anche lui nasconde un segreto. In un periodo sempre più minaccioso, Lilly diventa sempre più disperata: deve rischiare tutto, con la possibilità di perdere ciò che le sta più a cuore? Ispirata a eventi reali, la scrittrice Corina Bomann racconta la storia della clinica Waldfriede di Berlino.

      Két női vállalkozó úttörője egy olyan sagában, amely elnyeri a bátorságra és függetlenségre vágyó olvasók tetszését. Berlín, 1926. Sophia, húszas évei elején járó fiatal nő, katasztrofális élethelyzettel néz szembe: első szerelme rosszul végződött, apja elfordult tőle, és már nem tudja folytatni a kémiai tanulmányait. Egyedül barátnője, Henny, a kabarétáncos támogatja, ezért úgy dönt, hogy követi őt Párizsba, hogy újrakezdje életét. Itt találkozik Helena Rubinstein szépségszalonjával, aki sikeres vállalkozó a smink világában. Sophia lenyűgöző ötlete, hogy különleges krémet készít Helena számára, lehetőséget ad neki egy munkára, de ennek ára van: tíz évig nem házasodhat, mivel a házasság korlátozza a női autonómiát. Helena ambiciózus projektbe vonja be Sophit, hogy új kozmetikai vonalat indítsanak érett nők számára, kihívást jelentve Elizabeth Arden számára. Azonban New York tele van kísértésekkel, és Sophia, aki azt hitte, hogy lezárta a férfiakkal kapcsolatos fejezetet, egy vonzó tervező, Darren O’Connor társaságában találja magát, aki megkérdőjelezi Helena hűségi paktumát.

    • Beside Myself is the story of twin sisters, a childhood game with devastating consequences and the slippery nature of identity Helen and Ellie are identical twins – like two peas in a pod, everyone says. The girls know this isn’t true, though: Helen is the leader and Ellie the follower. Until they decide to swap places: just for fun, and just for one day. But Ellie refuses to swap back... And so begins a nightmare from which Helen cannot wake up. Her toys, her clothes, her friends, her glowing record at school, the favour of her mother and the future she had dreamed of are all gone to a sister who blossoms in the approval that used to belong to Helen. And as the years pass, she loses not only her memory of that day but also herself – until eventually only ‘Smudge’ is left. Twenty-five years later, Smudge receives a call from out of the blue. It threatens to pull her back into her sister’s dangerous orbit, but if this is her only chance to face the past, how can she resist? Beside Myself is a compulsive and darkly brilliant psychological drama about family and identity – what makes us who we are and how very fragile it can be.
