Suhrkamp, 2005 - Carpenters - 382 pages
Provincial Guldenberg is still reeling from World War II when a flood of German refugees arrives from the east, Bernhard Haber's family among them. Life is hard enough--Bernhard's father has lost an arm and his carpenter's income. But added to this injury comes an accumulation of insults, as the upright town turns hostile toward the newcomers. After a string of mysterious losses--from the killing of the boy's dog to the unexplained death of his father--Bernhard is set on extracting revenge.
