Marie Molsberg reads Donnersonntage at the Jastram bookstore
On Wednesday, November 11, 2026, Marie Molsberg will present her novel Donnersonntage at the Jastram bookstore. The reading followed by a conversation starts at 7 PM and leads into an intense emancipation story from the Westerwald at the end of the 1960s.
A Love Against the Narrowness of the Province
Marie Molsberg's novel is set in 1969 when the Federal Republic stands between social upheaval and traditional moral standards. At the center are Renate, a married woman, and 19-year-old Raimund. An unusual love develops between them, which must withstand family expectations, village control, and the fear of scandal.
Donnersonntage combines a moving love story with themes such as self-determination, courage, and social limitation. The novel reflects a time when new life plans became visible while traditional role models held their power.

The reading atmosphere at Jastram promises direct access to Molsberg's narrative world. Voice, language, and conversation open the space for the characters, their conflicts, and the moral tensions of the novel. In direct exchange with the author, the book presentation becomes a personal author encounter with insights into creation, research, and literary design.
