--> From the author of the International Booker Prize 2024 winner. Set on the shores of a lake near Berlin, Visitation tells the story of a single house and the twelve different inhabitants who pass through it over the course of the tumultuous twentieth century. From a Weimar-era land architect and a Jewish family fleeing the Holocaust to a World War II architect, Soviet soldiers, and East German citizens, the novel captures the heavy sweep of German history through a intimate, poetic focus on a piece of land, anchored only by the silent presence of a gardener who tends to it through every era.
