The Little Ache
a German notebook was written in 2013 14, while Ian Wedde was researching his acclaimed novel The Reed Warbler. In Berlin and the north of Germany around Kiel, nineteenth-century ancestors whisper to him amid the clamour of history and the pleasures of daily life. Praise for The Reed Warbler ‘Epic, engrossing and richly patterned, The Reed Warbler invites us to consider the threads that tether us to our own histories.’ -Catherine Chidgey ‘As event-crammed as any airport novel. Come at me not, Wedde fans, because it’s also far more resonant.’ -David Hill, The Spinoff
