"A powerful story." Süddeutsche Zeitung
Sixteen-year-old Philip Merz is just beginning to come to terms with the death of his mother when his father is made redundant, starts drinking heavily, reviving old love-affairs and finally falls down the stairs to the cellar. In desperation, Philip decides to advertise for a housekeeper. Things change dramatically after he offers the job to Ada, a Polish student…
The Housekeeper is a novel that works on many levels: depicting the various generations within a family, it is also a searching exploration of a father-son relationship, and has a new take on the perennial subject of first love. Jens Petersen’s portrait of a young adult is both laconic and witty.
He gets his novel humming right from the very first page and, with the help of a load of ludicrous, sometimes even slightly tasteless details and ideas, keeps the momentum up."
Der Spiegel
