Okay, I have to get this off of my chest:
Let´s just appreciate this ugly cover for a minute. I suppose the bird is a symbol for the main character Effi, who tries to break out of her marriage a.k.a the birdcage. Whoever designed this cover was very clever.
Honestly, the German book industry is the worst. They can´t write a decent blurb without spoiling the whole book and they can´t even design a beautiful cover.
