Description
A forested property on a Brandenburg lake outside Berlin serves as the backdrop for this elegiac novel by Jenny Erpenbeck. Over one hundred years of German history are woven into the life stories of twelve individuals who seek to make their home in this magical little house. The novel breaks into the everyday life of the house, shimmering through it while relating the passions and fates of its inhabitants. With its drama and exquisite evocation of a landscape, Visitation forms a literary mosaic of the last century, revealing moments of reconciliation amidst the turmoil of history. Through its poetic prose, Erpenbeck offers a nuanced exploration of the human experience, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
