Zusammenfassung
Wie die meisten Menschen finde ich Susi, unsere Putzfrau, geradezu verwirrend. Sie ist eine Frau, die ihre fünf Nichten und Neffen großgezogen hat, nachdem deren Vater bei einem Autounfall ums Leben kam. Sie selbst ist alleinstehend geblieben, arbeitet als Putzfrau und kümmert sich um ihre alte Mutter und die Kinder ihrer Schwester. Streng, vernünftig, ein Ausbund an Tugendhaftigkeit – das ist die eine Seite ihres Charakters.
