The House on Rosalindenstraße - Harald Lutz Bruckner - Bog

Rosalindenstraße 36 was built at the turn of the last century and withstood the vagaries of time and two world wars. Its occupants suffered through inflation of unheard proportions, times of depression, hunger, deprivation, and the highs and lows of their lives. Were it capable of speaking, the dwelling would share the tales of the rise and fall of a dynasty. An eerie dream takes the reader from floor to floor through the entire structure and opens the window to an event that takes place in 1996. Detectives Apfelbaum and Sattler are dealing with a possible murder and encounter the charms of the elderly storyteller Amalia Dorothea von Eichendorff-Dingdong. It is Amalia's sharing of information that leads to amazing conclusions relevant to the corpse of Walter Hahnenkamm resting in the morgue at police station #41 in Rüttenscheid, Essen, Germany. During the course of the investigation, Apfelbaum travels back in time and falls in love with the vision of a much younger Amalia as he is haunted by the musical score to the movie Somewhere in Time.
