The Hanky of Pippin's Daughter

By Rosmarie Waldrop

Book Overview

Poet Rosmarie Waldrop's classic novel about the horrors and banalities of German life between the World Wars.

"Josef and Frederika Seifert made a bad marriage--he so metaphysical, she, furious frustrated singer, furious frustrated femme fatale, unfaithful within two months of the wedding day. The setting is small town Germany between the wars; the Seiferts are just those 'ordinary people' who helped Hitler rise, bequeathing their daughter, who tells their story, a legacy of grief and guilt. Rosmarie Waldrop's haunting novel, superbly intelligent, evocative and strange, reverberates in the memory for a long time, a song for the dead, a judgment." (Angela Carter)
