SWAY TO STAY: FRANCA AND ED paperback edition, signed & dedicated for you <3

A modern story about love and violence, origins and self-empowerment, care and solidarity. In dense scenes and with multi-perspective voices, We Remain Ourselves tells of Franca, Ed, and a whole web of characters who struggle, love, fight, and assert themselves in a world that can be both tender and brutal.

Each copy is personally signed by Thekla Wilkening and comes with a unique dedication – a truly special edition for yourself or as a gift.

The paperback edition (12 × 19 cm, 206 pages) is compact and light, yet carries a lasting weight in its impact – a book to take along, to give as a gift, and to return to again and again.

“Moving,” writes ELLE magazine: “Author Thekla Wilkening addresses what young people dream of today and the problems they are confronted with in a literary series that impressively tells the stories of three flatmates. In the first volume, fashion student Franca and her partner Ed are at the center, struggling with the dynamics of their relationship. Through the many different narrative perspectives (including those of the mothers and fathers of the two main characters), readers gain deep insights into the lives and attitudes of the protagonists – insights that often go right under your skin.”
