"Franck is an outstanding talent of the Germany literary landscape." Stuttgarter Zeitung "A virtuoso creator of poetically charged moods... never before has East Germany been so radically depicted as dead at birth as in the arresting, magical narrative web of Julia Franck." Literarische Welt "A novel that, with its hypnotic language, creates its own realm of relevance, a realm which the reader is drawn into, is then paralyzed and devoured. You dive back into the real world in shock." Tages Anzeiger
