Aber an jenem schwülen Augustabend des Jahres 1928 fällt Agnes Pollinger dem Eugen Reithofer besonders auf. Vor dem Arbeitsamt in der Thalkirchner Straße.

It is for the president and no one else. But what if he doesn’t come? And what if he does? As events unfold, the reader is kept in the dark about what’s really going on. So much...
