About this product

Product Information

A finalist for the 2014 Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction "Impressive. Magee's terse style, cross-cutting between the narratives of Katharina and Peter, generates its own tension and momentum."-- New York Times Book Review "Bare, brutal...told with a sharply focused simplicity that both exposes and condemns through its understatement."-- Kirkus Reviews Lauded by New York Times bestselling writer Chris Cleave as "outstanding" and finalist for the Baileys Women's Prize for Fiction, The Undertaking is a remarkable debut novel from enticing new voice in fiction, Audrey Magee. Set during World War II amid the trenches of the Eastern front and the turmoil of Berlin under the Third Reich, The Undertaking follows the lives of an ordinary German soldier Peter Faber, as he approaches Stalingrad, and his new wife, Katharina Spinell, who, goaded on by her delusional parents, ruthlessly works her way into Nazi high society with tragic consequences. This is an unforgettable and elegant novel of marriage, ambition, and the brutality of war from one of our finest new writers. "This is a devastating but quite stunning first novel."-- Minneapolis Star Tribune "A bold, honest novel about Nazi greed and moral blankness...Magee's cool, precise tone recalls Hans Fallada's Alone in Berlin , and, like Heinrich Böll, Magee is haunted by the everyday and the small people who are inseparably part of a great ravagement."--Helen Dunmore, The Guardian (UK )

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
