Late in 1967, Uwe Johnson, already one of the most celebrated German novelists of his generation, set out to write a book that would take the form of an entry for every day of the year that lay ahead. The first entry is the 21st of August 1967, and every subsequent entry is dated the following day, through to the 20th of August. Of course, Johnson had no idea what the year would bring - that was part of the challenge - but he did have his main character: Gesine Cresspahl, a German émigré living on the Upper West Side of New York City and working as a translator for a bank, who is the single mother of a ten-year-old daughter, Marie.
