Margaret Atwood
The city is emptying, the high school is lacking students, but she's not leaving – a biologist of the old school type, the last of her kind. To cope with life, you have to be able to adapt. If anyone knows this, Inge Lohmark knows this well. After all, she's been teaching biology for over thirty years in a small Pomeranian town in a forgotten East German province. In a high school that will be closed in four years. There's no way around it – the number of students is dwindling, and soon there will be no more. Despite this, the teacher stubbornly pushes away these intrusive thoughts and facts. When she unexpectedly develops feelings for one of her students, and her worldview shakes to its foundations, she begins to make increasingly desperate attempts to save what can't be saved.
