Book Review: Munich Airport - Greg Baxter

Munich Airport is a sombre and unique telling of a time of great family grief and is a truly original and poignant novel by Greg Baxter.


Greg Baxter's Munich Airport tells the story of a tragic journey a man and his father make to Germany to bring home the remains of Miriam, the narrator's sister, who was found starved to death in her Berlin flat. Narrated by her brother, the whole novel is told without chapters, hopping in and out from past to present to future, like the fog that surrounds the airport when the father and son get there on the final leg of their tragic journey to bring Miriam home - a fog which causes chaos for passengers stranded there - the story tells of a mind wrapped in loss and confusion at how to comprehend and come to terms with such a shocking loss.
