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.
