Group Portrait with Lady is a 1971 novel by Nobel Prize winning author Heinrich Böll. The novel is concerned with a woman named Leni Pfieffer who faces eviction from her apartment building in Cologne. It structured as a report compiled from interviews conducted by an unnamed author with Leni’s friends, family, employers, coworkers, and others, forming a detailed social portrait of life in Cologne from the 1910s to 1971. Like many of Böll's novels, there is a particular focus on representing the Nazi era from the perspective of ordinary people.— Wikipedia
