I’m planning on reading it when the kids are back at school/home ed (and a looming deadline for my masters has passed). I read and enjoyed Funder’s “Stasiland” a few months ago, so feel I am nicely teed up for some related fiction. Shame you didn’t get to read something new.

@biggreenbooks.bsky.social is kindly going to send me something else! I've not heard of Stasiland - would you recommend it?
I went to Berlin in the summer, which have me a sense of the geography in the novel, plus some cultural context

Yes! A great creative nonfiction book. Not something I would ordinarily have gravitated towards, but thought it was very well done. Let me know what you think!

Ooooh - I need non-fiction to be creative to keep me engaged, sounds intriguing
