Description

Description

The Water-Castle is a poignant and introspective journal that explores love, romance, and discord in postwar Germany. In 1950s Wales, Elizabeth Greatorex embarks on a journey to meet her former lover Klaus, a German count, accompanied by her French husband.

As she travels through the snow-bound landscape, Elizabeth reflects on her own mythologized past and real, diminished present, while navigating the challenges of bridging cultural divides. Her revealing diary offers a unique insight into the emotional hunger, creative idealism, and sexual longing that defined this tumultuous period in European history.

This thought-provoking story is a powerful exploration of the human experience, set against the backdrop of a newly divided continent. With its nuanced portrayal of love, loss, and identity, The Water-Castle is a compelling read for anyone interested in the complexities of postwar Europe.
