A woman approaching the 'invisible years' of middle age abandons
her failing writing career to retrain as a chiropodist in the
suburb of Marzahn, once the GDR's largest prefabricated housing
estate, on the outskirts of Berlin. From her intimate vantage point
at the foot of the clinic chair, she keenly observes her clients
and co-workers, delving into their personal histories with all
their quirks and vulnerabilities. Each story stands alone as a
beautifully crafted vignette, told with humour and poignancy;
together they form a nuanced and tender portrait of a community.
Part memoir, part collective history, Katja Oskamp's love letter to
the inhabitants of Marzahn is a stunning reflection on life's
progression and our ability to forge connections in the unlikeliest
of places.
