Berlin. Early 1930s, the decline of the Weimar Republic. The German capital lives a noisy, vibrant, dynamic life, impressing the world with technical and cultural innovations. But everything will change soon.… The novel depicts literary and criminal Berlin; trendy bars where jazz is played, and "residential barracks" from whose windows swearing can be heard; the multicolored department stores and the colorless, disenfranchised existence of those who can only afford to stare at shop windows; free love and the abuse of orphans; the struggle of women for their rights and the growing fascist moods - all this determines the plot collisions and reveals the character of Ernie and her friends. They work, visit theaters, cinemas and cabarets, read newspapers and magazines, fall in love and lose loved ones. From the last chapter, which takes us back to 1948, we find out if the war spared the heroes. The translator's afterword reveals allusions to little-known works of twentieth-century German literature in Russia, and the comments complement the picture with references to the real scene. Anna Holzvogt is a young German writer who entrusted us with her debut novel, which has not yet been published in Germany.
