Description
Olga tells the story of an orphan raised by her grandmother in a Prussian village around the turn of the 20th century. Smart and precocious, she fights against the prejudices of the time to find her place in a world that sees her as second-best.
When Olga falls in love with Herbert, a local aristocrat obsessed with the era's dreams of power, glory and greatness, her life is irremediably changed. Theirs is a love against all odds, entwined with the twisting paths of German history, leading from the late 19th to the early 21st century.
The story unfolds through thought, letters and a fateful moment of great rebellion, offering a unique perspective on that love and Olga's devotion to a restless man. Translated from the German by Charlotte Collins.
