Description

Eli, an art journalist, travels to Berlin in search of information about the reclusive artist Balthus. Her journey becomes entwined with the story of Merline, a Jewish artist who finds solace in her relationship with poet Rainer Maria Rilke.

As Eli delves deeper into Merline's life through a series of letters, she begins to see parallels between their stories and her own experiences. This poignant exploration of love, loss, and identity spans two decades, from the tumultuous years leading up to World War I to the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall.

This moving novel weaves together the lives of these two women, Eli and Merline, in a rich tapestry of art, literature, and history.
