Stefan Cordes, born in '69, presents his first novel: Billie, the youngest of the Greifswald mayor's three daughters, discovers the magic and power of poetry in the midst of the Thirty Years' War and, despite all the dangers, writes poems against hatred.
Sibylla Schwarz was celebrated in the 17th century as the "Pomeranian Sappho", but she was not accorded a place in the male canon of poets and was almost forgotten until today. Stefan Cordes brings Billie, far ahead of her time, back to life: Modern, gripping and poetic!
