Ruth Rehmann (1922-2016) was born in Siegburg, the daughter of a priest. She worked as a journalist, violinist, chanson singer, and press officer for the Indian Embassy in Bonn before moving to a remote Bavarian farm to write her debut novel, Illusions - which lost to Günter Grass' The Tin Drum for the 1958 Group 47 prize. She wrote four further novels as well as radio plays and short stories. In 1983, she ran as a Green Party candidate for a seat in the Bundestag.
