Description
<p><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Wir werden Dörte Hansens ‚Zur See‘ lesen und diskutieren. Die Autorin erzählt die Geschichte der alteingesessenen Insel-Familie Sander. Vater Jens lebt seit 20 Jahren zurückgezogen auf einer Vogelwarte, seine Frau Hanne dagegen scheint ruhelos zu sein, wie getrieben. Sohn Rykmer Sander hatte ein traumatisches Erlebnis auf See, das ihn zum Alkoholiker werden ließ. Auch seine Geschwister haben ihr Päckchen zu tragen. Alle Familienmitglieder sind eng mit der Insel verbunden, leben aber nebeneinander her.</span></span></p>
