Schauplatz Avers – of naturalists, witches and migrants
The remote high valley of Avers in the canton of Grisons is the stage for the stories in which Ina Boesch skillfully interweaves fact and fiction. The author tells of flower-hunting naturalists. Of the belief in witches. Of women and men from Avers who fled poverty and sought for a better life overseas. Of ambitious tourism entrepreneurs. And of the plan to flood the Madris side valley to generate energy. The result is a masterfully told panorama of a charming landscape and its people.
