A haunting elegy to souls lost in time. Memory, dreams drifting into one. Life as it is. The horror and despair, but crackles of light show through. So human. Paradoxically despite the air of despair, it's such easy reading, such dreamy writing that you disappear into. Sebald is a Great

Probably wouldn't recommend this if you're looking for a cheery summer read but if you're looking for something about death, decay and the impact of the Holocaust then you really can't go wrong with Sebald.
