New to me author and I‘ll be seeking more! I loved how he wove the story- beginning at the turn of the century in Prussia- slowly, bringing in different viewpoints, structures and time lines seamlessly. His language is sparse and direct, creating atmosphere and character really effectively. How history shapes us and how we shape it was a strong theme here as we see how German nationalism effects each character.

One of my favorite authors did not disappoint with his latest book. A fast German history lesson given by recounting the main character‘s life. There is also an interesting narrative style change in the 3rd part of the book that should now qualify it as epistolary novel for the #RHC. 🤓🤓🤓
