Summary

Julia Franck: West In a moment, Nelly Senff and her two children will reach the other side of the Wall, to the West. They don't have anything in the East anymore: three years ago Nelly's husband took his own life, or so they told her - she can't be sure, they didn't let her see the body. The only thing he wants now is to leave, to forget, to start his life anew. But in the 1970s, for Nelly Senff and thousands of others like her, the West does not begin behind the Wall - there is mistrust, coldness and the reception center of Marienfelde. And right there, in Purgatory, between what was not Hell and what will not be Heaven, the brilliant German writer Julia Franck finds her heroines and heroes, dismantles the compass of prejudices and re-establishes the sides of the world in search of humanity. The beautiful widow Nelly Senff, the Polish cellist Krystyna, the tortured actor Hans and John, a dark-skinned CIA agent, will meet and touch in the fenced perimeter of the West, and what will emerge from their touches is a poignant and powerful story of courage, parental love and humanity that survives or disappears under the blows of the heavy hammer of history. Zapad is tense like a thriller, but above all it is a linguistic masterpiece. Neue Zürcher Zeitung From the beginning, Julia Franck had an exceptional sense of the pace of storytelling. Masterfully describes the unspeakable in the relationship between two people. Berliner Zeitung It is not easy to write a novel about defectors from the GDR that exudes the spirit of epic justice, and especially to write it for an audience that, when it comes to the history of two Germanys, knows only ardent suspicion or mild nostalgia. Julia Franck succeeded in this... She does not want to settle scores with the GDR - she is too good a writer for such a thing. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
