“What You Can See From Here” by Mariana Leky – Book Review #GermanFiction @fsgbooks #NovelsInTranslation #BookReview #WhatYouCanSeeFromHere

Both quirky and charming, this novel will appeal to those who yearn for a read outside their usual wheelhouse. Translated from the German language, it was the story of a tiny German village, told from the viewpoint of Luise whom we first meet as a young girl. Luise's grandmother, Selma, dreamed of an okapi. Being very superstitious, Selma believes that someone she knows will die - seeing an okapi is a dark omen.
