Here in Berlin

Exciting and inviting cover refresh for paperback edition

For fans of David Benioff's City of Thieves

As author Cristina Garcia says, "To live in Berlin is to live among its ghosts. I set out to capture the city's fascinating incongruities." A wonderful and truly literary new novel

A portrait of a city through multiple snapshots, a mosaic of contemporary Berlin and its legacies, a meditation on voice and mystery

Author is a National Book Award finalist, Guggenheim Fellowship-winner, and Whiting Writers' Award-winner

Garcia, a Cuban-American writer, can and will be a literary voice to consult in the ongoing renewed interest in Cuba after the reopening of diplomatic relations

The New York Times named Cristina Garcia's Dreaming in Cuban one of "25 Great Books by Refugees"

Berlin is a perennial favorite city of world travelers', and this novel is the perfect gift for those fond of and familiar with its streets, and for those about to venture into its complicated histories for the first time
