Einfach ein großer Genuss! Rührend und witzig zugleich. Kann ich wirklich nur empfehlen.
One of the best opening paragraphs I‘ve read for a long time. 🙏♥️🙏♥️
What a gem - one I‘ll be recommending to everyone and popping in lots of birthday bags! It‘s terrifically humble, observant and full of warmth and humanity. It‘s fab to see older women on the page and her writing and the transition is divine. A one sitting book that will stay with me a very long time, principally for the courage some of the residents of Marzahn display in their everyday lives.
This is a nice short book of the stories of the people that lives in this area of Berlin. I really like it. Is from the perspective of a writer that works as a chiropodist
I loved this: short pen portraits of the (mostly elderly) customers who come visit her chiropody office. A picture of a part of Berlin that is gradually disappearing.
