AWAD author of Bunny 'Cinematic and confessional . . . electric' The New York Times ----- *FOR
FANS OF CLEOPATRA AND FRANKENSTEIN MY YEAR OF REST AND RELAXATION and EXCITING TIMES* When
Daphne Ferber arrives in Berlin for a fresh start in a thrilling new city the last thing she
expects is to run into more drama than she left behind. Of course she knew she'd need to do
the usual: make friends acquire lovers grapple with German and a whole new way of life. She
even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella and the pitfalls
of online dating in another language. The paranoia the second-guessing of her every choice
the covert behaviours? Probably come with the territory. But one night something strange
dangerous and entirely unexpected intervenes and life in bohemian Kreuzberg suddenly doesn't
seem so cool. Just how much trouble is Daphne in and who - or what - is out to get her?
Channelling the modern female experience with razor-sharp observation and witty flair Berlin
