Ilona Hartmann's new novel "Klarkommen" is about an 18-year-old who moves from the small city to the big city. Hartmann believes that anyone who thinks that life is just one adventure will probably be disappointed.

In her new novel, she consciously tells a realistic story - one that she would have liked to read as a teenager. "Getting Clear" is not an exaggerated adventure that you can escape into while reading; the plot is rather unspectacular.
