Reading at Marga Schöller Bücherstube on Tuesday April 28 at 8pm

At the end of April I will be reading for the first time at Savignyplatz, in Charlottenburg, where the book takes place. The address of this wonderful book store is Knesebeckstrasse 33, at Mommsenstrasse. The reading starts at 8pm and I will be reading with two other English-language writers currently living in Berlin: Priya Basil and Rattawut Lapcharoensap.

New York Times Book Review

"Stealthily original...In This Must Be the Place, Winger avoids the braggadocio of typical expatriate fiction, telling a story rooted in universal human emotions - love, loneliness, grief, fear of change and, yes, hope - among people whose identity is more complicated than their citizenship."

It is a rare and wonderful experience to be understood. To read the rest of this fantastic review, please click here.

The gorgeous illustration of Sally Bowles hugging the Berlin Bear that accompanied the review is by Monika Aichele.
