A review by badgermode
The Spring of Kasper Meier by Ben Fergusson

4.0

A fascinating and deep look into Berlin just after the Second World War. It is reminiscent of American noir books, with the city and society both in complete ruin and no-one either worthy of nor able to trust. Let down a little by a slight lack of clear characterisation: some of the women blur into one, and the characters of Kaspar and Eva are a little straightforward. It is also slightly overlong, meaning that the plot loses a bit of impact. Nonetheless, a very well written and evocative novel that I loved at times.
