Reviews"This lyrical first novel continues the experimentalism that has been Waldrop's trademark both as poet and as publisher of Burning Deck Press. Constituting a woman's letters to her sister, it narrates the attempt of both to come to terms with their marriages and affairs between marriages. . . . The narrative is fragmented, which can make it difficult both to tell a complete story and to create characters with whom readers identify. Waldrop successfully avoids these pitfalls, producing a stunning work." - Rochelle Ratner, Soho Weekly News

SynopsisFiction. Women's Studies. Introduction by Ben Lerner. "Josef and Frederika Seifert made a bad marriagehe so metaphysical, she, furious frustrated singer, furious frustrated femme fatale, unfaithful within two months of the wedding day. The setting is small town Germany between the wars; the Seiferts are just those 'ordinary people' who helped Hitler rise, bequeathing their daughter, who tells their story, a legacy of grief and guilt. Rosmarie Waldrop's haunting novel, superbly intelligent, evocative and strange, reverberates in the memory for a long time, a song for the dead, a judgment."Angela Carter, Poet Rosmarie Waldrop's classic novel about the horrors and banalities of German life between the World Wars.
