Katherina Hacker's The Have-nots is dense with ideas and sharp insights, about....property reparation in Germany, the FDR and the GDR, loss and memory, the Iraq war, domestic violence, love, and sexuality. Yes, it's not a light read and takes a bit of effort, but is worth it. It is well written and structured, with good character development. The Have-nots won the German Book Award in 2006 for best novel. It is published by Europa Editions, a great press for contemporary European novels.
