«Visitation» is the novel by Jenny Erpenbeck, published by Portobello Books Ltd in paperback (150 pages, in English).
A summer house by a lake in Brandenburg articulates this novel about twentieth-century Germany and its occupants: the architect who builds it, the Jewish neighbors who disappear, the Red Army, a young man who flees to the West, and a couple who return from Siberia. Memory, loss, and violence leave their mark on the home.
The novel «Visitation» was originally published in German as Heimsuchung in 2008; the English edition is a translation by Susan Bernofsky.
For readers of literary and historical fiction interested in German history and twentieth-century memory.
Jenny Erpenbeck is a German writer and opera director. She won the 2015 Independent Foreign Fiction Prize for The End of Days and the 2024 International Booker Prize for Kairos.
