First one this year! Also my #bookspin one. Lots of little stories of different people. It‘s a good book to always come back to and have a little read.

One of the best opening paragraphs I‘ve read for a long time. 🙏♥️🙏♥️

AmyG That IS beautifull written. For me, reminds me of the child-rearing years. 😳 (edited) 3y
AmyG On a separate note, I saw Sea of Tranquility on your TBR. I am looking to pass my copy on. Have you gotten it? Do you still want to read itv 3y
Mitch @AmyG that‘s so lovely to think of me - I picked it up on Saturday. 😘 3y

thewallflower0707 Oh, I read this book in German last year, I didn‘t know it has been translated! It‘s really good. I‘m curious to know what impression you will have off Berlin after reading this 😅 3y

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

julesG Looks interesting. My "aunt" used to live in Marzahn. 3y
CaroPi @julesG I really like it and if you know the area I am sure you will appreciate it more 3y
Mitch @julesG it‘s fab! Down everything and read it now! 🤣🤣🤣 3y
julesG @Mitch off to find a copy 3y

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.

Another winner in translation from Peirene.
