2024: One wild, exhilarating night in Berlin:
Sister Europe tells the story of one wild night in Berlin, as a ragtag group meet at the Hotel Interconti to celebrate an elderly author’s venerable career (all under the resolute assurance that their wealthy host will provide a free and fancy dinner). Inevitably, boredom, hunger and horniness set in, and the gang – a young trans teen and her father; an ageing publisher and his flaky date; a dog, a troubled heiress and an Arabic Prince – are flung out on an exhilarating odyssey through the city’s shadow and light.
Sister Europe is a vivid tale of a scene all at sea, and a continent whorled with charm, caprice and the aches of history.
Berlin
Berlin is the capital and largest city of Germany, both by area and population. It has the highest population within its city limits of any city in the European Union.
Berlin was built along the banks of the Spree river, which flows into the Havel in the western borough of Spandau. The city incorporates lakes in the western and south eastern boroughs, the largest of which is Müggelsee. About one-third of the city’s area is composed of forests, parks and gardens, rivers, canals, and lakes. The iconic Schlachtensee appears in the book!
