Neuware - Ein Familienroman voller Tragikomik inklusive polnisch-bayerischem Culture Clash»Die Jukebox meiner Mutter« erzählt von einer Kindheit in Bayern, von alten Familiengeschichten, die immer ein bisschen zu sehr nach Hollywood und Komödienstadel klangen, von drei Brüdern, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, und der Tochter Tosca, die nicht ganz freiwillig zu ihren Wurzeln zurückkehren muss.In ihrem Wirtshaus in der bayerischen Provinz tanzte einst Toscas polnische Mutter in den 60er Jahren mit ihrem besten Gast zu Schlagern aus der Jukebox und verliebte sich gegen alle Konventionen. Doch was so filmreif begann, endete viele Jahre später mit einem Rosenkrieg.Als Kind wollte Tosca Schlagerstar werden, um viel Geld zu verdienen und der unglücklichen Mutter zu helfen. Als erwachsene Frau lebt sie in Berlin ein ganz anderes Leben als der Rest der Familie, glaubt jedoch, den elterlichen Hang zu Beziehungspleiten geerbt zu haben. Frisch verliebt erreicht sie mitten im ersten Date mit Ron, einem feinsinnigen Osteopathen aus gutem Hause, ein Anruf ihres Bruders: Die Mutter hatte einen tödlichen Unfall, der Vater liegt im Koma. Sie muss zur Beerdigung nach Bayern. Zu ihrer Überraschung bietet ihr Ron an, sie zu begleiten, hat jedoch keine Ahnung, worauf er sich da einlässt.Für Tosca wird der Besuch bei ihrer Familie mehr und mehr zu einer Reise in die eigene Vergangenheit und zu einem Härtetest für ihre neue Liebe.Als Toscas Vater aus dem Koma erwacht, hält er die Vergangenheit und seine schöne polnische Wirtin für höchst lebendig. Niemand bringt es fertig, ihm zu sagen, dass sie gerade beerdigt wurde. Und ohnehin streiten sich die Geschwister lieber ausufernd über das einzige Erbstück von Wert, die alte Jukebox aus der Wirtschaft der Mutter, die immer noch Musik von damals zum Besten gibt .Die Autorin Isolde Peter ist in Bayern aufgewachsen und später nach Berlin gezogen. Die Geschichte ihrer Eltern war Inspiration für diesen wortwitzigen und berührenden Roman über tragikomische Familienmythen, schmerzhafte Verluste und die Kraft der Liebe.…

A family novel full of tragicomics including Polish-Bavarian Culture Clash
"My mother's jukebox" tells of a childhood in Bavaria, of old family stories that always sounded a little too much like Hollywood and comedy nobility, of three brothers who couldn't be more different, and the daughter Tosca, who does not have to return to her roots.
In her inn in the Bavarian province, Tosca's Polish mother once danced to hits from the jukebox with her best guest in the 60s and fell in love against all conventions. But what began so film-ready ended many years later with a war of roses.
As a child, Tosca wanted to become a hit star to earn a lot of money and help the unhappy mother. As an adult woman, she lives a completely different life in Berlin than the rest of the family, but believes she has inherited the parental tendency to relationship failures. Freshly in love, in the middle of the first date with Ron, a subtle osteopath from good home, she reaches a call from her brother: the mother had a fatal accident, the father is in a coma. She must go to Bavaria for the funeral. To her surprise, her Ron offers to accompany her, but has no idea what he is getting into.
For Tosca, visiting her family becomes more and more a journey into her own past and a hardness test for her new love.
When Tosca's father awakens from the coma, he considers the past and his beautiful Polish landlady highly alive. No one gets ready to tell him that she has just been buried. And anyway, the siblings prefer to argue over the only heirloom of value, the old jukebox from the mother's economy, which still gives music from then to the best...
The author Isolde Peter grew up in Bavaria and later moved to Berlin. Her parents' story was inspiration for this word-witted and touching novel about tragicomic family myths, painful losses, and the power of love.
