#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
