A woman approaching the 'invisible years' of middle age abandons her failing
writing career to retrain as a chiropodist in the East Berlin suburb of Marzahn,
once the GDR's largest prefabricated housing estate. From her intimate vantage
point at the foot of the clinic chair, she observes her clients and co-workers,
listening to their stories with empathy and curiosity. Part memoir, part
collective history, Katja Oskamp's love letter to the inhabitants of Marzahn is
a tender reflection on life's progression and our ability to forge connections
in the unlikeliest of places. Each person's story stands alone as a beautifully
crafted vignette, but together they form a portrait of a community.
