Book Synopsis
Love, injury, deception, uncertainty, and self-sacrifice: debut author Nadja Spiegel is hardly the first person to write about these things, but the way she has written about them is incomparable. Constructing virtuoso depictions of life in a style that lets them get right under your skin, Spiegel's precise, brittle, seemingly straightforward prose paints a vibrant picture of human compromise and cooperation with both humor and restraint. Bittersweet, made up of just a few simple strokes, these stories herald the arrival of an important new voice in European literature.

Trade Review
It's the tone of these stories, the way they were constructed, that highlights this author's exceptional talent. KULTUR Spiegel... writes of friendship and of growing up. Nothing new, on the face of it, but what's exceptional in this book are the details. It's worth your while to have a look. -- Emily Walton Falter
