A captivating novel about marriage, love, fidelity, and Europe, birds, and environmental protection by an American author who has lived for years in a small town in Brandenburg - a discovery by Jonathan Franzen. Nell Zink has been celebrated all the way up to the New York Times as a literary discovery, and her novel was named "Debut of the Year" in the USA. Bernese Oberland, 21st century. This and that happens after the car scrapes against the rock. Tiffany is no longer pregnant. Stephen catches, well, the most wonderful bird ever - quick, in a kind of camouflage outfit and beautiful - one he has spotted for the very first time. And the wallcreeper goes: "Twii!" The wallcreeper is a fast-paced tale of development and marriage that shifts between seemingly disparate themes such as infidelity, birdwatching, drugs, the desire for children, dubstep, and sex.
