Aprašymas
Part thriller, part novel of self-discovery, The Last Tenant takes an elegiac look at post-war Berlin between the 1950s and the 2000s. The book chronicles in parallel the lives of a man and his grandson, each trying to come to terms with their family relationships. The 75-year-old grandfather, Albrecht Graefe, has disappeared from the Kreuzberg flat where he lived for 40 years, most of it alone in alcoholic blindness following the death of his young wife and the departure of his only daughter to London. As sole surviving family member, his grandson Daniel receives a letter from the owners of the block announcing that it is to be redeveloped and inviting him to remove his grandfather’s effects. Daniel makes the journey to Berlin to undertake the task and remains there seeking answers to long-standing questions about the turbulent and tragic lives of his forebears.
