Summary
Details

In Brigitte, the late Herta Blickling's poignant words paint a vivid tapestry of her unique life, weaving through the trials and triumphs that defined her journey. Born into a Protestant-Catholic family in the diverse cultural landscape of Temeschburg Banat, Romania, Herta's story is one of resilience and faith.

Herta's early years were marked by the upheaval of World War II, leading her family to a humble life in Oeslau. Despite the scarcity, her mother's storytelling fostered a rich inner world for Herta, igniting her lifelong passion for writing and nature. This memoir beautifully captures her transition from the idyllic countryside to the bustling city of Munich, highlighting the profound impact of her spiritual conversion to Catholicism during this time.

As Herta navigates the complexities of adulthood, her faith becomes both a refuge and a source of turmoil. Her poetic voice blossoms amidst personal crises, including failed career attempts and a tumultuous monastic experience. The unwavering support of her siblings, especially during her stays in Berlin and later Munich, provides glimpses of hope and stability.

Herta's deeply felt spirituality, untouched by her monastic disillusionment, resonates through her poems and prose. Her words offer intimate insights into her struggles and triumphs, revealing a woman of unshakeable chastity and profound artistic expression. Despite enduring emotional lows and psychiatric care, Herta's literary legacy shines through, capturing her inner conflicts and spiritual devotion.

This translated memoir invites readers into the heart and soul of Herta Blickling, offering a profound exploration of faith, creativity, and the enduring power of the human spirit.
