| Summary | "Unsere Nachbarn: Neue Skizzen" by Ada Christen is a collection of literary sketches written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the lives of ordinary people in a neighborhood, particularly focusing on the experiences and observations of the main character, Liese, who reflects on their past and her own solitary existence. Through her narrative, themes of love, longing, and the intricacies of human relationships are explored, providing a rich tapestry of social commentary on the lives of women in that era. At the start of the collection, Liese is introduced as a single woman who contemplates her life and the lives of those around her. She reminisces about her childhood and the neighbors who have vastly different experiences. Through her reflections, we learn about her upbringing and her modest, yet fulfilling existence as an independent worker, embroidering and living simply. The sketches blend her musings with observations about the people she interacts with, revealing a sharpness in her insights about societal expectations, particularly regarding marriage and femininity. Liese’s character embodies the themes of solitude and the quest for belonging, as she engages with memories and the lives of others in her neighborhood.
