The Invention of Curried Sausage by Uwe Timm

4.0

This is a little joy of a book! I've been hoping to find it at a book shop for ages, as the title is brilliant, and I was finally successful. It's a little book, and a simple one, where the narrator gets back in touch with old Mrs Brucker from Hamburg, in an attempt to discern whether it was her that invented the German favourite currywurst in the final days of World War II. It's a simple, human tale, with human, a small touch of despair, and a little bit of history. Quick, quirky and fun.
