Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

When The Quest for Christa T. was first published in East Germany ten years ago, there was an immediate storm: bookshops in East Berlin were given instructions to sell it only to well-known customers professionally involved in literary matters; at the annual meeting of East German Writers Conference, Mrs Wolf's new book was condemmed. Yet the novel has nothing eplicity to do with politics.

"Nachdenken über Christa T." (german title) is one of the most important books of Mrs. Wolf. She's able to write in a very concentrate, authentic and conclusive way.
