Wie schmal ist der Grat zwischen Mutterglück und Wahnsinn?Erika zieht mit ihrem Ehemann und ihren beiden kleinen Kindern in die Schweiz. Im hochsommerlichen Genf und in ihrem schönen neuen Heim angekommen, verbringt ihr Mann die meiste Zeit im Büro. Die Kinder erfordern die volle Aufmerksamkeit. Für sie hat sie den Beruf aufgegeben, sie sind nun ihre ganze Welt, versorgt und glücklich wollen sie sein. So wie jede Familie doch glücklich sein sollte. Oder?Nie zuvor hat sich Erika so allein gefühlt, so fremd an einem Ort, so verängstigt, dass ihr alles entgleitet. Und wenn die Kinder endlich schlafen, rücken die Wände der Wohnung näher, werden die Schatten größer und übernimmt der Albtraum die Realität…In intensiver Sprache komponiert Kyra Wilder in »Das brennende Haus«, in deutscher Übersetzung von Eva Kemper, die Ängste vor Isolation und Überforderung mit der Komplexität der weiblichen Identität und des Mutterseins zu einem klaustrophobischen Leseerlebnis.»Jede Mutter wird diesen Grenzbereich ihrer Gefühle wiedererkennen, den Wilder mit solch brutaler Ehrlichkeit und beklemmender Sprache zeichnet.« Lesley Glaister
