Description

Group Portrait with Lady (German: Gruppenbild mit Dame) is a novel by Nobel Prize winning author Heinrich Böll, published in 1971. The novel centers around a woman named Leni, and her friends, foes, lovers, employers and others and in the end tells the stories of all these people in a small city in western Germany in the 1930s and 1940s. As is usual in Böll's novels, the main focus is the Nazi era, from the perspective of ordinary people. The novel was adapted into a film in 1977. - Wikipedia

Description

In a sweeping portrayal of German life from World War I to the early 1970's, Böll, tells the story of the widow Leni Pfeiffer and her son Lev who have become the nexus of Cologne's counterculture, spurning the pursuit of affluence in present-day Germany.
