Sigrid Rausing Bücher

Die erschütternde Geschichte einer Familie über Sucht, Selbstzerstörung und den verzweifelten Wunsch zu helfen. Die Verlegerin und Tochter des Tetra-Pak-Gründers, Sigrid Rausing, erzählt in ihrem autobiographischen Buch »Desaster« die tragische Geschichte der Drogensucht ihres Bruders, die ihre ganze Familie in die Katastrophe stürzte. Hans Kristian Rausing und seine Frau Eva haben sich bei einem Entzug kennengelernt. Seitdem sind sie clean. Und sie sind verliebt. Als es zwölf Uhr schlägt, und die beiden ein Glas Champagner an die Lippen führen, sind sie seit zehn Jahren verheiratet. Sie haben drei gemeinsame Kinder. Der Rückfall der beiden wird der ganzen Familie Rausing den Boden unter den Füßen wegziehen. Sigrid, Hans‘ Schwester und Evas Schwägerin, beginnt einen kräftezehrenden Kampf gegen die Sucht ihres Bruders und muss sich irgendwann eingestehen, dass sie gescheitert ist. »Desaster« ist die intime Aufarbeitung einer menschlichen Tragödie - poetisch, klug und berührend.
