«Vienna» is the novel by Eva Menasse, published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in hardback, in German.
A family novel that starts from the sudden birth of the narrator’s father to reconstruct the history of a Viennese family of Jewish origin. The marriage between a Viennese Jew and a Moravian Catholic, the children’s flight from Nazism, and the silences surrounding some relatives become the centre of a choral narrative about memory and identity.
Winner of the Corine Internationaler Buchpreis 2005 and finalist for the Preis der Leipziger Buchmesse.
Recommended for readers of historical novels and family sagas, with a special interest in memory, identity and exile.
