Rachel Seiffert's first collection of short stories, following her Booker-shortlisted bestseller 'The Dark Room' explores the human impact of twentieth century German history, both of the war and the collapse of East German communism.
This remarkable collection of short stories is both a development on and successor to Seiffert's 'The Dark Room'. From Polish guest workers in Eastern Germany to the adult children of the war generation, Rachel Seiffert's psychological insight and depth of sympathy for her characters is remarkable.
