Description
Berlin, 11 July 1986. A chance encounter on a bus sets in motion a complex and intense relationship between two individuals. Their shared passion for music and art fuels their attraction, but the secrecy they must maintain creates tension and raises the stakes. As the world around them changes, old certainties crumble, and the path of their relationship becomes increasingly fraught. The GDR's collapse marks a seismic shift in European history, and this novel is set against the backdrop of this pivotal moment. Against this turbulent landscape, a devastating story of love and loss unfolds, exploring the destructive power of relationships and the fragility of human connection. In this intimate and powerful portrayal, a prize-winning German writer examines the devastating consequences of a relationship in disarray, revealing the intricate web of emotions and desires that can both unite and destroy us.
