In her family saga, the author touches on German colonial history. Before World War I, her grandparents had left Bavaria for New Guinea as Christian missionaries with a sense of duty in order to convert the »heathens« and thus experience self-valorization in a hierarchically constructed world. »Historically enlightening and emotionally moving, multilayered and vivid, Katharina Döbler tells of colonialism in its concrete form.« [Berliner Zeitung]
