Was bleibt

The title of this weird German book that I had a go at translating with the aid of my pocket German dictionary once. It's by a lady called Christa Wolf - her last name means "wolf" in German, apparently. The title means "What remained" (probably) and it starts with, "Nur keine Angst." which means something like "Only no fear.". Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine - I never did find out what it was about.
