THE BLOG AT THE CROSSROADS
Article: Line Hoven
Posted: November 7, 2012
Where do you belong, where is your true home, when your parents come from two sides of the Atlantic, and your grandparents from two sides of the Second World War? Perhaps one way to understand yourself is to understand where your parents came from and what made them who they are. Line Hoven is the daughter of a German father and an American mother. She appears in person only on the last two pages of this collection as a puzzled little girl who asks, “When are we going back home, Mommy?” and is reassured, “We are at home, honey.” More a work of family history than autobiography, the quartet of tales illustrated in scraperboard in Liebe Schaut Weg (to be published by Blank Slate Books as Love Looks Away) record one daughter’s attempt to document how her parents grew up, met and married, and after her father’s struggles to cope with the English language, settled in Germany.
