Winner of the 2015 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize From one of
the most daring voices in European fiction, this is a story of the
twentieth century traced through the various possible lives of one
woman. She is a baby who barely suffocates in the cradle. Or
perhaps not? She lives to become as an adult and dies beloved. Or
dies betrayed. Or perhaps not? Her memory is honoured. Or she is
forgotten by everyone. Moving from a small Galician town at the
turn of the century, through pre-war Vienna and Stalin's Moscow to
present-day Berlin, Jenny Erpenbeck homes in on the moments when
life follows a particular branch and 'fate' suddenly emerges from
the sly interplay between history, character and pure chance. The
End of Days is a novel that pulls apart the threads of destiny and
allows us to see the present and the past anew.
