—Booklist
“Funder moves through the former East Germany with a gimlet eye and a journalist’s ear for the poignant, the perverse, and the absurd. . . . In clean striking prose she shifts with graceful ease from the telling blushes and tics, habits and souvenirs of her subjects to the concrete evidence of official documents to reveal the persistent effects of vast events.”
