Greygranite gave Dr Anne this book as a birthday present. Dr Anne opened her parcel in time for her visit to St Andrews last week. Dr Anne has read a number of books about Germany and France recently mostly fired by Greygranite. They intrigue her.
One house, five families, one hundred years of history. The house was by a lake on the outskirts of Berlin and not far from Potsdam.
This is the kind of book Dr Anne would love to write. It was about people, their context in time and their place in time. We all live in a context and are encultured. It so shapes what one is able to do. The research was amazing. The writing was enthralling. Thank you again, Greygranite.
Dr Anne awards an 8.5.
