LVIV Affairs: Or: Things Are Complicated (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781539402541)

A strange kind of road trip, in which an American widow embarks together with her children on a travel to Ukraine, in order to find her daughter's father - whose identity she does not know. If you find this weird, you are right. Only the ghost of the deceased husband finds it all quite normal and insists on accompanying the journey with more or less helpful comments. But at the center of the story is actually a city - Lviv, a widely unknown jewel, whose multi-cultural past is almost as complicated as that of our heroine.The story combines culture clash, Central and Eastern European history, mystery and absurd humour into an easy to read page-turner.Follow Sarah and her children on a paper chase, starting in the US and continuing in Austria and Hungary, until they finally arrive in Ukraine. Learn about the multi-facetted heritage of Lviv, the Western Ukrainian metropolis, and how much it has to offer to visitors. About the author: Ulrich Hammerschmidt, born 1960, has decided to create confusion not only in international business, but in literature too. Raised in Germany, living in Vienna and with private close ties to Ukraine, he is fond of European history - and absurd situations.
