Description
A novel about an unlikely friendship between two men from different worlds. In Auschwitz, SS Obersturmfuhrer Paul Meissner establishes a chess club to boost camp morale, but soon discovers that the game is also played among the prisoners. Among them is Emil Cle;ment, known as "the Watchmaker," who becomes the focus of Meissner's attention. As their games become more intense, so do the stakes, and the two men find their fates deeply entwined. Twenty years later, they meet again in Amsterdam, where a surprising reunion takes place. The novel explores themes of forgiveness, guilt, and understanding, as both men search for peace. A gripping tale of survival and trust, this debut novel by John Donoghue is a rich portrait of an unexpected friendship.
