Norderney is known as resort and beach resort in the North Sea, numerous writers and artists have appreciated and acknowledged the island. Now comes a Norderney-booklet of a particularly cheeky kind:
A middle-aged woman, still far too good daughter, but also wife, mother and maid-of-all-work, that does not operate properly in a domesticity, wants to drop out. And her cure notification leads her to Norderney.
She has 21 days for regeneration, which she wants to spend without a comb and clean of all other constraints to domestic working. She will only submit to the cure treatments, a cascade of mild baths and poultices, of massages and gymnastic exercises – at least according to plan.
I am realizing the quiet, which is slowly embracing me and does not want to relase me. Since also the suitcases in my room are already waiting for me, there is no reason to dissolve this embrace.
But the good plan is soon disturbed by a funny walrus of spa guest and defeated by an athletic therapist of Amerindian descent, interrupted by fightings at the cold buffet, blown down by Nordic Walking at 10 Beaufort and enriched by other absurdities of a stay at a health spa. Through much wit and situational humor a very pleasurable and likeable picture of the island and her cure life is emerging.
