The Novelist from Berlin - V S Alexander Kartoniert (TB)

Dieses Buch ist ein faszinierendes und packendes Lesevergnügen, das mich sofort in die Welt der mysteriösen Geschichte von Irmgard Keun entführt. Die Darstellung der Zeit in Berlin nach dem Krieg ist unglaublich lebendig und fesselnd.

Der Roman ist fesselnd und die Geschichte ist sehr interessant, allerdings empfand ich die Darstellung einiger Aspekte als etwas vage.

Toll!

Another great novel by the author!The Novelist from Berlin, by V.S. Alexander.Loosely based on a real novelist, Alexander gave a strong voice to an ordinary woman who could have been satisfied with leading an ordinary life. However, because of the polical situation before, during and after the Second World War, her life would never be allowed to be ordinary. The main topic of this novel is survival, physically and psychologically speaking. This fundamental concept is highly subjective (I know), and the ways to reach survival should never be lightly judged.... Definitely a thought provoking theme. I enjoyed this novel, particularly because Niki is not perfect, not a super hero but she has courage always driven by her acute sense of survival which enabled her to keep some kind of hope. That makes her a great woman. Love is also a recurrent theme, taking many realistic shades in this novel which are but very convincing... Highly recommended on a very human point of view.
