Ilustration Supposing Books Der Geschmack von Apfelkernen

Als Bertha stirbt, erbt Iris das Haus. Nach vielen Jahren steht Iris wieder im alten Haus der Großmutter, wo sie als Kind in den Sommerferien mit ihrer Kusine Verkleiden spielte. Sie streift durch die Zimmer und den Garten, eine aus der Zeit gefallene Welt, in der rote Johannisbeeren über Nacht weiß und als konservierte Tränen eingekocht werden, in der ein Baum gleich zweimal blüht, Dörfer verschwinden und Frauen aus ihren Fingern Funken schütteln. Doch der Garten ist inzwischen verwildert. Nachdem Bertha vom Apfelbaum gefallen war, wurde sie erst zerstreut, dann vergesslich, und schließlich erkannte sie nichts mehr wieder, nicht einmal ihre drei Töchter. Iris bleibt eine Woche allein im Haus. Sie weiß nicht, ob sie es überhaupt behalten will. Sie schwimmt in einem schwarzen See, bekommt Besuch, küsst den Bruder einer früheren Freundin und streicht eine Wand an. Während sie von Zimmer zu Zimmer läuft, tastet sie sich durch ihre eigenen Erinnerungen und ihr eigenes Vergessen: Was tat ihr Großvater wirklich, bevor er in den Krieg ging? Welche Männer liebten Berthas Töchter? Wer aß seinen Apfel mitsamt den Kernen? Schließlich gelangt Iris zu jener Nacht, in der ihre Kusine Rosmarie den schrecklichen Unfall hatte: Was machte Rosmarie auf dem Dach des Wintergartens? Und was wollte sie Iris noch sagen? Iris ahnt, dass es verschiedene Spielarten des Vergessens gibt. Und das Erinnern ist nur eine davon.

I have had Katharina Hagena's 'The Taste of Apple Seeds' in my bookshelf for a long time. Yesterday I finally took it down and read it. This is the sixth book I read for 'Women in Translation Month'. Iris goes to her hometown because her grandmother has passed away recently. Her mother and her mother's two sisters, Iris' aunts, have also come. After the funeral is over, the lawyers come to her grandmother's place and read the will. To everyone surprise, it is revealed that Iris inherits her

PERSONAL RESPONSE I personally did not like The Taste of Apple Seeds by Katharina Hagena. I do not like it because when the point of views switch, they are very sudden and do not flow well. I also do not like how the plot is based on three generations of relationships because at points it is hard to understand who is with who. I think the author could have done a better job making separating the different relationships. PLOT SUMMARY The plot of The Taste of Apple Seeds starts with Iris going to

DisappointedI love Alice Hoffman and so when the book was compared to her "magical" style I was excited to read it. Honestly, though, I couldn't ever figure out what the point of this book was.

Staying at the house, trying to decide if she wants to keep it, she is assailed by the memories of the summers she spent there.A look at memories, of forgetting, as before her death her grandmother had Alzheimer's. A sad and poignant look at a woman who is slowly losing who she was. A look at memories from when she was young and

I'm not totally sure what to think of this book. I might need a while to process before I decide if I like it or not.

I didnt like the writing style in this book. The plot is good, but there could have been so much more to the story. I liked the setting and some of the characters. I almost didnt finish the book, but I persevered and finished.
