Den Mund voll ungesagter Dinge

Den Mund voll ungesagter Dinge follows Sophie, whose life has never been simple: abandoned by her mother right after birth, she is uprooted again when her father decides to move with his girlfriend to Munich, taking Sophie along.

Sophie has never been in love — there have been boys, but she has always kept people at a distance. That changes when she meets Alex, the neighbor's daughter with the gap-toothed smile and infectious laugh, and, for the first time, allows herself to fully open up to another person.

Anne Freytag's novel is a coming-of-age story about first love, family estrangement, and learning to say the things that have gone unsaid for too long.
