About event
Hannah Lühmann will present her current novel “Heimat” on November 20th, in which she addresses the viral topic “Tradwife” and the shift to the right. The evening will be moderated by Stefanie Hirsbrunner from InterKontinental.
About the book:
When Jana moves to the country with her family, she quickly realizes that different rules apply here. Behind the bourgeois façade lurks a highly problematic worldview, and AfD is voted for as a matter of course. Jana's charismatic neighbor Karolin has also dedicated herself entirely to the role of housewife and mother. The more time Jana spends with Karolin, the more it becomes clear to her that she is ultra-conservative in a very contemporary way - as a “tradwife” she fights in the name of tradition against everything that Jana actually stands for. Jana tries to defend herself against her fascination, but repeatedly catches herself having the disturbing thought that she envies Karolin's life...
Hannah Lühmann, born in 1987, studied philosophy in Berlin and Paris. She wrote for the “Süddeutsche Zeitung”, the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” and “Die Zeit”, among others. From 2014 to 2025 she worked as a senior editor in the culture department at “Welt” and “Welt am Sonntag”. Hannah Lühmann lives as a freelance journalist with her family in Berlin.
