Kairos

Staff Pick, Literature (by Olivia)

We mustn't make each other miserable.' A complex relationship set against the history of East Berlin and the fall of the Berlin Wall. As dreams of a socialist utopia come undone, so does Katharina and Han's relationship. On one level it is a love story, or more the unravelling of an imagined love story as the darker side of their relationship sinks its teeth into the couple's once bright facade. A dense and rigorous read that is unquestionably rewarding.
