How I Met Your Grandfather - or Why It Makes Sense to Wear High Heels: The Scent of Shadowy Waters

A Treat for the Ears The tale of an extraordinary friendship in a new audio book by Heidelberg-based author Juliane Sophie Kayser and actress Julika Jenkins.

Successful Heidelberg-based author Juliane Sophie Kayser never fails to create an unforgettable experience for the eyes and ears. Now, in collaboration with the well-known actress Julika Jenkins and the outstanding pianist Zhana Minasyan, she is releasing her latest literary hit in English: the audio book How I Met Your Grandfather or Why It Makes Sense to Wear High Heels.

The audio book tells the true story of an extraordinary friendship between the author, Juliane Sophie Kayser, and Fred Raymes, who became famous through the autobiographical film, Menachem and Fred. Their inspiring story touches the heart and moves us to think about the important things in life. While the story addresses profound questions, such as whether God died in Auschwitz or still exists, it is also suffused with warmth and humor. "Fred taught me many things, especially to look where it hurts," notes the author Juliane Sophie Kayser. "The time we spent together was very intense. This audio book brings together everything that was important to us: dialogue, music, literature, history, and friendship."

The result is not only a sensual ode to friendship and a delight for the ears that makes literary and musical hearts beat faster, but also a piece of (contemporary) history that has come to life.

The audio book How I Met Your Grandfather. Or Why It Makes Sense to Wear High Heels is a moving story about the magic of friendship, about reconciliation and coming to terms with the past, and about the love of God.
