It is a relief that the narrative is framed from the present to the preceding events. It’s not an easy read, although it starts gently and thrillingly with an unlikely and unorthodox relationship in a divided Berlin. Maybe a little familiarity with Berlin now and then is helpful, although the writer is expert at conveying the constraints and hard won pleasures of the times. The relationship develops in a kind of parallel with the unravelling of political certainties. Fast-moving, sometimes shocking, always challenging. A worthy winner of the International Booker prize.
