Nino Haratischvili’s new novel moves fluently, but uneasily, between two genres and two worlds
, published in German in 2014 and English in 2019: an epic yet intimate saga of the convulsive Georgian experience from late-Tsarist to post-Soviet times.
It begins with a crisis in a middle-class German family. Stella, the narrator, is an arts journalist in Hamburg. She is married to a sleek documentary film-maker, Mark, with a spotless background that feels to her “so bright, so white, so clean”. By contrast, Stella grew up in a bohemian clan among smudges and shadows: a hard-drinking radical father, a mother who fled the chaos for a scientific career in New Jersey, a lovably eccentric great-aunt.
