You Are Not Like Other Mothers
Author(s): Angelika Schrobsdorff
Biography, Memoir & Autobiography
As a young woman, Else made two promises to herself: to live life to the fullest and to have a child with every man she loves. So here are the stories of husbands, companions, lovers, and emissaries of a world in which men repeatedly prove themselves inadequate and the stories of Else's three children. From World War One and the roaring twenties, an orgy of parties, caberet and concerts to the dreadful advent of Nazism and Else's exile in Bulgaria, this a sweeping epic held together by the forceful figure of a woman who is larger than life.
