A family novel, and more than that a social novel, written as spoken word in Bernese dialect. Like photographs in an album, short snapshots from the history of a Swiss family, with smaller and larger leaps between them, add up to fifty years of Swiss history. The family stays among itself, the old grandfather insists, as long as he still believes he can unite the family. Family life between duty and affection, death, home and language: the dialect suggests cosiness and familiarity, and often turns out to be treacherous ground.
