The girl without qualities

Ada and Alev meet at the Ernst Bloch school and discover much in common. Their affinity develops into an obsessive dependence, demanding displays of friendship, unfettered by moral barriers or compassion. The Girl Without Qualities is a surprising novel that reflects the status quo of the new Europe, governed by a lack of responsibility for the future. Considered a revelation in German literature, writer Juli Zeh debuted in Brazil with the harrowing parable on contemporary issues, Adler und Engel.
