1989. Zwei Schwestern sehen sich mit dem Ende eines Systems konfrontiert, in dem ihr Lebensweg vorgezeichnet schien. Die jüngere will die neu gewonnene Freiheit ausloten und bricht auf in die Welt.

Dreißig Jahre nach dem Mauerfall ist «Mit der Geschwindigkeit des Sommers» ein hochaktueller Roman, der die Verwerfungen in persönlichen Biografien durch den Zusammenbruch der DDR in präziser Sprache nachzeichnet.
