5.0 out of 5 stars
Some call it madness, I call it love, July 4, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Diplomatic Pursuits (Paperback)
Delicious!
Now that the author's first novel is available all around the world - translated (thank you, Mrs. Richter-Bernburg!) - you should move into the next bookshop and buy it! Or visit a 'Goethe-Institut' nearby, chances are more than good, that they offer a copy.
Seriously, reading on Harry von Duckwitz's adventures from the late sixties to german reunion is both, lot of fun and some very subjective overview about not only diplomatic pursuits, but also love, love and love.
When you've finished it, please find someone to translate his two follow-ups or go and learn german, but read them, too!
The only reason why I gave a 9, but not a 10 is, that the german original is even better!
I love Westphalen's novel(s), and I really think, you will love them by heart!
Guido Grigat, Germany
