The House by the Lake
One House, Five Families, and a Hundred Years of German History
Thomas Harding
The book traces the history of Germany over a century through the experiences of five different families who lived in a small cottage on the outskirts of Berlin. It explores the political and social changes that occurred from the late 19th century through the fall of the Berlin Wall, using the house as a focal point to reflect broader historical events.
