Twenty-five years ago, a nameless narrator drifted through a Germany abandoned by all its ghosts, from Sylt to Zurich. Now the same narrator sets out again, this time not only into himself but into the depths of his own family, whose history keeps crossing that of the country, tragically, comically and sometimes spectacularly. At its heart is his relationship with his mother, explored in all its delicacy, and a threadbare wool jumper that stands for entanglements reaching back to the darkest chapter of German history.
