I discovered this while browsing my library's audiobook collection and borrowed it because I'll read almost anything set in Berlin. I liked the narrator and the descriptive writing. I thought telling the story of people's lives through vignettes was very effective and it was both funny and poignant. I could have done with fewer details about their feet problems but mostly I really liked this.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Medical content
Moderate: Chronic illness, Terminal illness, Dementia
Nette Lebensgeschichten, die ein bisschen ans Herz gehen, in einem Stil, den ich manchmal etwas unangenehm und fad fand. Das Buch, sowohl positiv als auch negativ gesehen, ist vor allem: nett.

A little gem of pure magic. Authentic, pure and beautiful.
Zum meinem großen Bedauern muss ich feststellen, dass mich dieses Buch trotz aller lobenden Worte im Feuilleton kaum abholt hat und ich mich in letzten Wochen regelrecht dazu gezwungen habe, das fertig zu lesen. Ist zwar eine gute, aber dennoch etwas enttäuschende Lektüre.
