Overboard

Published by Diogenes as Über Bord
Original Title: Über Bord

A ramshackle old villa, money worries, an aged mother, two daughters with unsuitable boyfriends, a badly paid, boring job at the residents' registration office – that is how Ellen's daily life looks. Divorced and getting on in years, her future seems to have lost its rosy glow. Only a fairy-tale prince can save her, but Ellen does not believe in miracles. Then a good-looking man turns up, claiming to be her half-brother. Following some genetic tests, astonishing family secrets are unearthed. The invitation to join a Mediterranean cruise should help them to get to know one another better, and for Ellen it promises to be the experience of a lifetime. But the illusion of a last great love ends up going overboard ... and it is not alone.

»In her new novel, ›Overboard‹, Ingrid Noll is on top form.«
Mannheimer Morgen
»Ingrid Noll writes books located in a deceptive no man's land somewhere between thriller and family drama, between women's literature and domestic horror.«
Der Spiegel, Hamburg
»Family novels with disasters – that would be a fitting description of Ingrid Noll's novels. Written with lively wit and penetrating sarcasm.«
