Liz Allan - In Bloom, 260 S.
Ü: Lisa Kögeböhn
Unionsverlag 2026

@vierlesen Lieblingszitat:
“Wir lebten kleine, unbedeutende Leben. Aber wir wussten, dass wir mit unserer Musik die Chance auf etwas Größeres hatten.” (S.156)

@eva.umea Lesezuckerl:
In Bloom handelt von vier Teenagerinnen, die in den 90er Jahren in prekären Verhältnissen in einem tristen australischen Kaff an der Küste leben. Ihre Väter sind abgehauen, ihre Mütter sind ständig beschäftigt, überfordert und erschöpft. Die Lehrer haben sie aufgegeben, nur der Musiklehrer Mr. P. scheint etwas in ihnen zu sehen und schenkt Ihnen Zuwendung. Sie gründen eine Band, nennen sich “The Bastards” und nehmen sich Nirvana und andere Grunge Bands zum Vorbild. Sie dürfen nach der Schule im Musikraum proben und arbeiten auf einen Bandwettbewerb in der Stadt hin, zu dem Mr. P. sie fahren will. Als Lily den Musiklehrer des sexuellen Übergriffs beschuldigt, platzt das Luftschloss. Die drei anderen Mädchen wollen das nicht glauben und ihren Traum vom Rauskommen aus dem Kaff durch eine Zukunft mit Musik nicht aufgeben…

@eva.umea Lieblingsdetail:
Honestly, ich muss hier ein bisschen schummeln, denn ich liebe ALLES an diesem Roman. Für mich Alternakid der 90er, mit Hang zu dysfunktionalen Familiengeschichten, female empowerment und Freundinnenschaften ist das einfach ein Volltreffer.

#vierlesen Fazit:
Sprachlich ist In Bloom unheimlich beeindruckend. Die traurige Ausweglosigkeit aus den prekären Verhältnissen, der Schmerz der häuslichen Gewalt, die hoffnungslose Persistenz und ständige Zurückweisung wird extrem gut transportiert. Zwischendurch gibt es einige lyrische Kapitel, die uns ganz besonders gefallen haben #UnsereMütter (S.35). Durch die besondere Wir-Perspektive, die äußerst smooth von @koegeboehnsche ins Deutsche übertragen wurde, verschmelzen die Mädchen zu einer Einheit, einzelne Aussagen werden zur Allgemeingültigkeit der kleinen Gruppe und kicken deshalb richtig.

Ganz lieben Dank an den #unionsverlag für das kostenfreie Rezensionsexemplar. Unbezahlte Werbung.

In this case study, we explore Ken Kochey’s (@kenkochey) collaboration with Women’s Earth Alliance, @womensearthalliance traveling to Bali to document the work of Aniek Putu Ayu Puspawardani, a leader at Kelecung Eco Village, created in-kind through our Good Works initiative.

Through his lens, Ken captures Aniek’s commitment to sustainable living and community empowerment, set against the natural landscape of Bali. The resulting images and film reflect both her leadership and the village’s eco-conscious practices, forming part of Women’s Earth Alliance’s Rising Tides, Rising Women campaign.

Bel Paese — Italy, through a different lens.

Photographer Ken Kochey captured the essence of Italy on a Once-in-a-Lifetime Journey filled with exclusive moments and unrivaled access.

From a private moment with Michelangelo’s David in Florence to vineyard lunches and supercar drives through the hills of Tuscany. This is Italy as few experience it — where history, culture, and quiet moments of reflection unfold without the crowds.

Despite the addition of our two Family Safari Tents this year, our original Family Suite remains a wonderful option for larger families or groups traveling together. With three bedrooms (each with a private bathroom) and a spacious play area for young travelers on the bottom floor, it’s essentially a private villa escape on Santa Cruz Island. Of course, from all our accommodation offerings, the main lodge–which includes both indoor and outdoor dining–are located just a short walk away.⁠
