Reading with Dina Casparis

High heels – hot fashion. If lawyer Tara Bernhard had one wish, it would be to be part of the fashion world. Unexpectedly, she is about to fulfill this dream. Tara's client, a fashion king, is kidnapped by militant eco-activists after the presentation of his high-tech dress at the WEF in Davos. The accusation: green washing. The demand: a consistent implementation of his full-bodied propagated sustainability strategy. And so the lawyer is commissioned to explain the new rules of the game to the employees in the tradition-conscious fashion company. She doesn't make friends with it...

In search of the fashion king, Tara Bernhard ends up in Chur and finds not only mysterious traces of her family past. Now she also lives dangerously! Because behind the glamorous fashion façade are stylish and unscrupulous masterminds who do not let their plans be thwarted by the young lawyer without a fight.

Dina Casparis, a lawyer and author with Graubünden roots, spent a long time in Chur and took care of her uncle, the well-known painter and drawing teacher Rico Casparis. In his house, she discovered historically valuable testimonies about the work of her great-grandfather, the chocolate pioneer Carl Georg Bernhard, to whom an exhibition is currently dedicated in the Chur City Archive. His life and the story of the "Müller & Bernhard" chocolate factory, which he co-founded, which later became Grison AG, inspired the author to write the family history of her main protagonist.
