    “Zoo Station” by David Downing. It’s a novel set in Berlin in the run up to WW2.

    The hero is an Englishman living in Germany so he can be near his ex-wife and their son.

    One aspect of it is that, while the hero gets caught up in a Soviet spy ring, he’s also doing things like taking his kid to football games and trying to buy a car.

    Your comment reminded me of that.
