A house on the forested bank of a Brandenburg lake outside Berlin
(once belonging to Erpenbeck s grandparents) is the focus of this
compact, beautiful novel. Encompassing over one hundred years of
German history, from the nineteenth century to the Weimar Republic,
from World War II to the Socialist German Democratic Republic, and
finally reunification and its aftermath, Visitation offers the life
stories of twelve individuals who seek to make their home in this
one magical little house. The novel breaks into the everyday life
of the house and shimmers through it, while relating the passions
and fates of its inhabitants. Elegant and poetic, Visitation forms
a literary mosaic of the last century, tearing open wounds and
offering moments of reconciliation, with its drama and its
exquisite evocation of a landscape no political upheaval can truly
change."
