"A refreshingly honest read ... an uncompromising portrait of life in all its failures, intricacies, and emotions." -- Kirkus Reviews 2015
Edda Ritter comes of age during the dark days of 'The Great War' and Germany's 'turnip winter,' then bursts forth into the frenetic nightlife of 1920s Berlin. But she harbors a dark secret as Germany hurtles toward the apocalypse and her mother calls to her from beyond the grave.
