Description

A powerful portrayal of life in Nazi Germany, After Midnight is a masterful novel that captures the feverish hysteria and horror of the era with devastating perceptiveness and humour.

The story follows Sanna as she navigates the increasingly treacherous landscape of her country, where Hitler's presence is felt everywhere. Her own life is complicated by the blacklisting of her brother's books, the forbidden love of her best friend Gerti, and the ever-present threat of denunciation to the authorities.

Written after Irmgard Keun fled the Nazi regime, this novel is a testament to the author's skill as a storyteller and her ability to convey the devastating consequences of war with humour and humanity.
