Ungewöhnliche Hauptcharakterin. Die Oma als Rolle, die normalerweise als herzhaft & weich beschrieben wird, ins Abstruseste verzerrt, dass man nur Mitleid für Max empfindet. Ganz komische Dynamiken, aber insgesamt spannend zu lesen über die Integration dieser Patchworkfamilie in der deutschen Provinz.
