Excellent writing, may be too ponderous for some, but it really captures that undefinable something in the mentality that all former GDR residents I know have in common.
Most characters are flawed - here meaning they are, often, really just arseholes - and often not particularly loveable. But they are complex and relatable and feel deeply truly real.
