The cover of the book Heimsuchung by Jenny Erpenbeck In the middle of a dark background is an arresting array of coloured squares, a stained glass window in many different colours. The squares look out on an indistinct scene outside.

   #AdventOfBooks 2024 day 4: Heimsuchung by Jenny Erpenbeck #Bookstodon

   The story of a house, from when it was built in the 1800s, to after the fall of the Berlin wall. But the house is in Eastern Germany, so over the years it had many owners and visitors, who treated each other and the house well or badly, made changes as they saw fit, and let things decay or be repaired

   It's a moving reflection on the importance of place, on history, and on what property and ownership means in times of flux
