The quiet youngest daughter in a noisy, tangled German Mennonite family who fled from Russia in the 1990s, Nelli seems to be coping well in a traditional marriage. But what is going on in her memory? As we follow the events on two key days in 2020, we are asked riddles about Nelli that even she might not be able to answer.

A hauntingly original, sometimes absurdly comic psychological tale from contemporary Germany, Nightberries has been translated into English by Bradley Schmidt from the 2022 novel Nachtbeeren.

Elina Penner was born in 1987 as a Mennonite German in the former Soviet Union and moved to Germany in 1991. Plautdietsch (Low German) is her mother tongue. After time spent in Berlin and the US, she now lives with her family in the East Westphalia region of Germany. She is a successful personal essayist and blogger, with many of her non-fiction pieces gathered in the 2023 collection Migrantenmutti (Migrant Mother). Nachtbeeren was her first novel. In 2025, her second novel, Die Unbußfertigen (The Unrepentant), was released in Germany.
