A young girl, trapped in a paralyzing web of family stories and secrets, finally manages to break free. A granddaughter struggles to lay her grandmother's ghosts to rest. A successful and simplistic artist becomes inexplicably obsessed with an elusive and strangely sinister young girl.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgainst the backdrop of contemporary Berlin, possibly Europe's most vibrant and exhilarating city, Hermann's characters are as kaleidoscopic and extraordinary as their metropolis, united mostly in a furious and dogged pursuit of the elusive specter of \"living in the moment.\" They're people who, in one way or another, constantly challenge the madness of the modern world and whose dreams of transcending the ordinary for that \"narrow strip of sky over the rooftops\" are deeply felt and perfectly rendered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judith Hermann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 4.98w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060006877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/11\/2003 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eHermann, Judith:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJudith Hermann lives in Berlin, where she works as a freelance writer. \u003cem\u003eSummerhouse, Later\u003c\/em\u003e is her first book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ecco Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43097774719091,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":21.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_da03b401-548b-433a-b2a7-499f2124e76b.jpg?v=1748614404","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/summerhouse-later-9780060006877","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
