»How would you feel if everyone told you it isn‘t normal, but no one can tell you what‘s wrong?«
Ever since childhood, Klara’s life has been shaped by persistent health problems, having minor illnesses linger far longer than they would normally. Later, she experiences breakdowns and exhaustion. The symptoms are obvious to her, but no one can offer a diagnosis, treatment, or a cure.
She finds it increasingly difficult to juggle parenthood, her relationship, friendships, and her job. Is it chronic exhaustion or something else? How can she live and deal with it? Klara finds her own way to lead a self-determined life, but encounters a lack of understanding from her partner Matti and her family.
»Schönfellner masterfully describes the inner turmoil and immense stress that characterize Klara‘s everyday life. Snail Queen is more than just the story of an illness; it is a tale of resilience, self-discovery, and the search for a way to live with the unknown.« (gesundheit.com)
»A very profound novel about chronic illness, self-determination, and how women are treated in the healthcare system, which is really worth reading.« (vilianes.buecherwelt, Instagram)
