Marzahn, mon amour: Geschichten einer Fußpflegerin

A thoroughly charming little book, each short chapter introduces the reader to another client of the book's narrator, a chiropodist in the Marzahn District of Berlin. These are people, many of them older and marginalised by society, but, as they sit with their feet being bathed, their stories and glimpses of their ordinary and also extraordinary lives are revealed. It finds beauty in the mundane and is a reminder that none of us really know what someone else has been or is going through.

Fuß-Fetischisten kommen auf ihre Kosten, für alle anderen: TW Füße und Fuß-Krankheiten

Genau der richtige Ton. Die letzte Geschichte hat mich zum Heulen gebracht, bei vielen anderen war ich auch nah dran
