The story of Doris, beautiful and striving, who vows to write down all that happens to her as the star of her own life story. But instead of scripting what she hopes will be a quick rise to fame and fortune as either an actress or the mistress/wife of a wealthy man, she describes a slow descent into near prostitution and homelessness. Prewar Berlin is not the dazzling and exciting city of promise it seems; Doris unwittingly reveals a bleak, seamy urban landscape.

Review of 'Das kunstseidene Mädchen' on 'Goodreads'

Es fing sehr gut an und war am Ende etwas lahmer, aber immer noch sehr okay. Eichhörnchen kamen vor. Und wie oft passiert es in der Literatur, dass eine junge und vergnügungswillige Frau mit vielen Männern ins Bett geht, OHNE schwanger zu werden? In "Goodbye, Berlin" jedenfalls schon mal nicht.
