Visitation

Set beside a picturesque lake in Brandenburg, a young architect constructs his dream summerhouse, only to find that the land beneath it bears a dark and turbulent history marked by violence and loss. Over the course of a century, the house witnesses a series of poignant and haunting events that reflect deeper themes of memory, disappearance, and the passage of time. Jenny Erpenbeck weaves a compelling narrative that explores how history and the personal intertwine within a single home, revealing both its beauty and brutality.
