Description
Set in the unsettled years following German reunification, this linked collection follows a circle of ordinary people navigating the social, economic, and emotional changes reshaping their lives. Through encounters, conversations, disappointments, and small triumphs, the stories reveal the tensions between East and West, private memory and public history, and aspiration and uncertainty. Witty, sharply observant, and understated, the book builds a vivid portrait of a society in transition while showing how major historical forces surface in the details of everyday life.
