A German woman living in New York reads the day's newspaper every morning for a full year, and each day's news sends her back into her own childhood under the Nazis and the communism she later fled.

Long waves beat diagonally against the beach, bulge hunchbacked with cords of muscle, raise quivering ridges that tip over at their very greenest.
