Opis

Adrift in Berlin and with no desire to return home to Mexico, Tatiana tries to distance herself from the city's past. Yet the phantoms of Berlin are more alive to her than the people she passes on her daily walks. When she takes a job transcribing notes for the reclusive historian Doktor Weiss, her life in Berlin becomes more complex.

Recenzje

The writer she calls to mind is the Modernist Haruki Murakami, with his unsolved riddles and ultra-cool characters. It is a book that you press on friends Helen Rumbelow The Times
