Chris guides Rashaad through the three works by Dörte Hansen this week: Altes Land, Mittagsstunde and Zur See.

He talks about what makes them so good at capturing daily life in rural northern Germany and how language plays a central role in what makes these books unique. If you're interested in themes of migration, discrimiation, education and language, this is the episode for you!

For those of us (#Rashaad) who don't speak German, we also learn that Altes Land has been translated into English as: _This House Is Mine _.

Join Rashaad in reading it so that one day we can revisit this work Chris recommends!
