From the publisher's feed

London, die Weltstadt in der Träume wahr werden und zerbrechen! Die britische Hauptstadt zieht jedes Jahr Millionen von Menschen an, Touristinnen, Abenteurer, Party people, Geschäftsleute und Geflüchtete. 20‘000 Schweizer:innen leben in der 10-Millionen-Metropole. Wie ist das eigentlich, wenn man hier nicht nur kurz auf Besuch ist, sondern den ganz normalen Alltag lebt? Carla Maurer, Pfarrerin an der Schweizer Kirche in London, ist vor zehn Jahren mit einem grossen Koffer in Gatwick gelandet und geblieben. Sie hat ihren Traumjob gefunden, einen Briten geheiratet und Familie gegründet.
