Kairos - Jenny Erpenbeck

Do you like Cold War stories set in Berlin in the days leading up to and following the fall of The Wall? Do you like a good romance that feels like you're hiding in someone's closet, watching it all unfold while also feeling guilty about eavesdropping? Do you like great writers? Well, then here’s the book for you! My best read for 2023, but then all of these descriptors hit me the right way, including the eavesdropping. Kairos won the Book Prize for 2024 first for a book in translation, jah! Jenny Erpenbeck is a Big Deal German Writer, as it should be. This is a lightly read paperback copy found in Berlin (naturlich).
