Funke's Story

Funke lives at No. 5 June 12 Street, in the flat behind the community clinic, with a father who locks the door at eight. She is in year five of six at medical school, which means she leaves before the generators wake up and comes home knowing the price of everything. This is her side of the street: four chapters, told close, from the window she is not supposed to talk from.
