Depicting a young woman's life in Nazi Germany, a masterpiece from the author of Child of All Nations

'I cannot think of anything else that conjures up so powerfully the atmosphere of a nation turned insane' Sunday Telegraph

Nineteen-year-oldSanna just wants to drink her beer in peace, but that's difficult whenHitler has come to town and his motorcade is blocking the streets ofFrankfurt. What's more, her best friend Gerti is in love with a Jewishboy, her brother writes books that have been blacklisted and her ownaunt may denounce her to the authorities at any moment, as Germanyteeters on the edge of the abyss. Written after she had fled the Naziregime, Irmgard Keun's masterly novel captures the feverish hysteria andhorror of the era with devastating perceptiveness and humour.
