Der rechte Pfad

Benjamin is involved in an accident and is haunted by guilt afterwards. Attempting to escape the complicated situation, he travels Welsum, the small village his father lives in and where he spent the summer growing up. Welsum was then and still is dominated by an evangelical majority with strict rules. As a teenager Benjamin was friends with siblings Lea, Hanna and Gideon. He had his first romantic encounters with Gideon but eventually fell in love with Hanna, who then died tragically. His return to this ill-fated place after twenty-five years confronts Benjamin with the unresolved trauma of the past as well as the increasingly more rigid and right extremist practices of the evangelicals.

A powerful novel about Christian fundamentalists, growing up and being queer in a right extremist environment.
