“This Must Be the Place,” by Anna Winger

A little locationship can go a long way.

Rachel and Ross. Marissa and Ryan. You and the stone cold fox in apartment 3C (hypothetically, of course).

Now Walter and Hope.

Anna Winger’s debut novel, This Must Be the Place, is an unlikely friendship and love story that unfolds after the two meet in the elevator of their once venerable apartment building in 2001 Berlin.

Walter, a 40-year-old German, is still recovering from his failed attempt at Hollywood life sixteen years earlier and gets by dubbing Tom Cruise films into his native tongue. Hope, new to the city from New York, has come to join her workaholic hubby and deals with depression by spending her days in the bathtub.

Cosmopolitan, funny, and breezy to read, the tale finds inspiration in the everyday but is always smart and never sappy.

It’s more than just location, location, location.
