About this listen

Adina wuchs als letzter Teenager ihres Dorfs im tschechischen Riesengebirge auf und sehnte sich schon als Kind in der Ferne. Bei einem Sprachkurs in Berlin lernt sie die Fotografin Rickie kennen, die ihr ein Praktikum in einem neu entstehenden Kulturhaus in der Uckermark vermittelt. Von einem sexuellen Übergriff, den keiner ernst nimmt, unsichtbar gemacht, strandet Adina nach einer Irrfahrt in Helsinki. Im Hotel, in dem sie schwarzarbeitet, begegnet sie dem estnischen Professor Leonides, Abgeordneter der EU, der sich in sie verliebt. Während er sich für die Menschenrechte stark macht, sucht Adina einen Ausweg aus dem inneren Exil.

Antje Rávik Strubel erzählt in Blaue Frau aufwühlend von den ungleichen Voraussetzungen der Liebe, den Abgründen Europas und davon, wie wir das Ungeheuerliche zur Normalität machen.

Mysterious and gripping

This book starts slowly, building up the concrete details of Adina's life in hiding in Helsinki. It then gathers in force as her past experiences and her attempts to bring her attacker to justice are told in parallel. The Blaue Frau sections of the narrative stand in uncertain relation to the main story, but slowly mesh with it in the course of the book.

The portrait of Adina is wholly convincing, and the depiction of Helsinki in particular is atmospheric. Strubel's narration is straightforward, but well-paced, and the voices of the different characters come over well.

I'm listening now for the second time, and noticing more of how the themes are introduced and developed.
