Synopsis
A world of grand apartments, coffee mornings, concerts and theatre and religious debate; of artistic insurgency, bohemian love and political ferment; above all of home life, Sunday lunches and holiday celebrations, carries on while in the background an inexorable fate grows almost unnoticed. Dramatic irony stalks the varied, often charming members of a large bourgeois family, until events of the first half of the 20th century break in, splintering it into communist, fascist, Jewish, Christian and other fragments. Yet this is a fate which turns out in the end to be less than total. The fragments are moved and a new cycle begins, promising at least partial return to old unities and modes of existence.

A beautiful and moving book, rich in its sense of history and character and in its vivid evocation of Berlin. -- Linda Kelly, Literary Review

Paints its scenes with quick, expert strokes, moving relentlessly towards the central tragedy of the 20th century. -- Michael Moorcock, The Guardian
