In East Berlin in 1986, Katharina, a young student, and Hans, a writer thirty-four years her senior, begin a passionate and complex love affair. As their relationship becomes marked by obsession and control, the political context of the GDR crumbles, intertwining the couple's fate with the collapse of the Berlin Wall. This masterful novel by Jenny Erpenbeck, winner of the 2024 International Booker Prize, is a profound exploration of historical consciousness, the fragility of feelings, and power dynamics during the final days of East Germany.
