Vea Kaiser will read from her new novel "Fabula Rasa or The Queen of the Grand Hotel" on Tuesday, February 2, 2027, at 6:00 PM in the Sonnenburg Library. The reading is suitable for adults.
In her fast-paced new novel, Vea Kaiser tells the story of a young mother who makes her way in a traditional Viennese hotel, overcoming all obstacles and taking her fate into her own hands.
Vienna, late 1980s: Angelika Moser, raised in a public housing complex as the daughter of the caretaker, spends her free time dancing through the nightlife. At the same time, she loves her job in a new, elegant world: as an accountant at the Grand Hotel Frohner, populated by Viennese originals and guests from all over, she gets involved in dubious financial maneuvers to save the establishment. Suddenly faced with raising a small child alone, Angelika fights for a good life and begins to manipulate invoices. Decades go by – until the numbers come crashing down around her.
