Forty years later, Jewish historian Judit Klemmer is making a documentary portraying Judenstaat's history from the time of its founding to the present. She is haunted by the ghost of her dead husband, Hans, a Saxon, shot by a sniper as he conducted the National Symphony. With the grief always fresh, Judit lives a half-life, until confronted by a mysterious, flesh-and-blood ghost from her past who leaves her controversial footage on one of Judenstaat's founding fathers--and a note: "They lied about the murder.""--

Seller's Description:
New in new dust jacket. BRAND NEW. Excellent condition. Never read or opened. Sewn binding. Cloth over boards. With dust jacket. 320 p. Audience: General/trade.
The main premise of the story is that, after WWII, a Jewish homeland is formed in the southern part of East Germany. This seems like a promising idea for a book, but the narrative is very hard to follow. The text is broken into what seem more like soundbites than chapters, with each containing a narrative that seems to be unconnected to the previous. The story contains many obscure references and allusions, the characters are not well-developed, and the writing style is what I can only describe a "flat."
Three-quarters of the way through the book, I realized that I was so confused that it was pointless to continue. I can't recommend this book, but the premise clearly provides fertile ground for a story, and someone, maybe even this author, could probably create a very interesting story from it.
