About the Book

Die brillante Unternehmerin Lillian Cutting ist so erfolgreich und unabhangig, wie es eine Frau um 1880 nur sein kann. Auf ihrem eigensinnigen Weg nach oben hat sie gegen alle gesellschaftlichen Konventionen verstoßen und ganz New York gegen sich aufgebracht. Dort ist man sich Diese Frau muss verschwinden. Ein fur alle Mal. Koste es, was es wolle. Dabei hatten alle damit rechnen konnen, dass Lil ihre Freiheit, ihre Wurde und ihr Vermogen niemals opfern wurde. Und als es so weit kommt, dass es um ihr nacktes Uberleben geht, dreht "Lil the Kill" den Spieß um. Sie ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung im New York um 1880, nicht nur unter den herrschenden Familien der Stadt, den Belmorals und Lange Zeit hat die Eisenbahnmagnatin Lillian Cutting, an der Seite ihres loyalen Mannes Chev, mit ihrem exzentrischen Fuhrungsstil noch die kuhnsten Spekulanten uberflugelt. Und sich machtige Feinde gemacht. So scheint es ihrem Sohn Robert nach Chevs Tod ein Leichtes, Lillian mit Hilfe eines sendungsbewussten Psychiaters zu entmundigen und in eine geschlossene Anstalt wegsperren zu lassen. Aber Lil nimmt den Kampf auf - gegen eine Gesellschaft, die Eigensinn als Krankheit denunziert. Rasant, komisch und unerschrocken schildert Markus Gasser, wie eine furchtlose Frau an ihren hochmutigen Peinigern fantasievoll Rache nimmt. «Lil» ist eine universelle Geschichte voller Zorn und Trost uber die Jagd nach dem großen Geld, listige Sohne und unversohnliche Tochter, das Recht auf den eigenen Lebensentwurf und uber Machtkampfe, wie wir sie heute noch fuhren - erzahlt von Lils Nachfahrin Sarah, die mit den verfanglichen Methoden der Psychiatrie noch eine ganz personliche Rechnung offen hat.
