Here in Berlin: A Novel, by Cristina Garcia, is
certainly a highly competent novel, with few surprises.
Garcia’s novel is one of conversations, with
an unknown author walking about Berlin, gauging the layers of this city through
the tales of its often marginalized characters.
Garcia achieves her goal; we get a long view of the city, its
inhabitants, and how they have succeeded and failed in the recent history of
Berlin. Certainly a novel worth reading - even without any fireworks.
