Berlin: The dazzling, darkly funny debut that surprises at every turn | Bea Setton

2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read

'Uncommonly funny, cinematically vivid, and refreshingly honest' LISA HALLIDAY, author of Asymmetry 'Compelling and unique: I was completely absorbed' FRANCESCA REECE, author of Voyeur 'I loved this novel with its complex, flawed and fascinating heroine. . . A wonderful achievement' NICK BRADLEY, author of The Cat and the City When Daphne Ferber arrives in Berlin for a fresh start in a thrilling new city, the last thing she expects is to run into more drama than she left behind. Of course, she knew she'd need to do the usual: make friends, acquire lovers, grapple with German and a whole new way of life. She even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella, and the pitfalls of online dating in another language. The paranoia, the second-guessing of her every choice, the covert behaviours? Probably come with the territory. But one night, something strange, dangerous and entirely unexpected intervenes, and life in bohemian Kreuzberg suddenly doesn't seem so cool. Just how much trouble is Daphne in, and who - or what - is out to get her? Channelling the modern female experience with razor-sharp observation and witty flair, Berlin announces Bea Setton as an electrifying literary voice for her generation. *FOR FANS OF MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION, EXCITING TIMES AND WRITERS & LOVERS *

Berlin: The dazzling, darkly funny debut that surprises at every turn | Bea Setton

so-so

An overly dramatic, catastrophisizing young woman goes to Berlin ostensibly to learn German (though not really) and ultimately doesn‘t have the experience she‘s looking for. I saw what this book was looking to do before it was revealed, but by the time it was, I was so tired of indulging the annoying main character that I couldn‘t feel any empathy for her.
