By the side of a lake in Brandenburg, a young architect builds the
house of his dreams - a summerhouse with wrought-iron balconies,
stained-glass windows the colour of jewels, and a bedroom with a
hidden closet, all set within a beautiful garden. But the land on
which he builds has a dark history of violence that began with the
drowning of a young woman in the grip of madness and that grows
darker still over the course of the century: the Jewish neighbours
disappear one by one; the Red Army requisitions the house, burning
the furniture and trampling the garden; a young East German
attempts to swim his way to freedom in the West; a couple return
from brutal exile in Siberia and leave the house to their
granddaughter, who is forced to relinquish her claim upon it and
sell to new owners intent upon demolition. Reaching far into the
past, and recovering what was lost and what was buried, Jenny
Erpenbeck tells a story both beautiful and brutal, about the things
that haunt a home.
