Karl hat andere Pläne
Karl hat andere Pläne
Author: Marie Hansen
Short Description:
Karl Berger is eighty-two years old and firmly convinced that it must be an administrative error.
When he moves into a retirement home after a health setback, his life suddenly seems to have shrunk to a smaller format. But Karl has other plans. While his fellow residents talk about the past, Karl thinks about the future. About travels, new adventures, surprising encounters, and the question of why one should stop making plans at eighty-two.
A humorous and heartwarming story about joie de vivre, friendship, love, and the courage to look forward even in old age.
Detailed Description:
For his daughter, it is the most sensible decision in the world.
For Karl Berger, it is a minor catastrophe.
After a health setback, the eighty-two-year-old widower ends up in a retirement home. There are fixed meal times, bingo afternoons, house rules, and a number of people who have apparently decided to come to terms with getting old.
Karl is not one of them.
He still has questions about life. And still has plans.
Between a quick-witted group of ladies, an unyielding Erna, the overwhelmed director of the home, Thomas, and the clever Rita, Karl begins a new chapter that no one expected – least of all himself.
"Karl Has Other Plans" is a heartwarming romantic comedy about growing old without actually becoming old. About people who are not yet finished. About second chances, new paths, and the surprising realization that the future is not a question of age.
With a lot of humor, keen observation, and lovable characters, Marie Hansen tells a story that invites laughter, reflection, and continued dreaming.

A message from the publisher:
Dear readers,
some books begin with an idea. Others begin with a character.
Karl Berger is one of those characters who, after just a few pages, makes us feel like we know him. Perhaps because we have already met people like him. Perhaps because we are a little like him ourselves.
With "Karl Has Other Plans," we are publishing a novel that reminds us that curiosity, humor, and dreams for the future are not a question of age.
We look forward to accompanying Karl on his next adventures with you.
Welcome to a story that shows:
Whoever still has plans, still has stories ahead of them.
