- Summary
- Paris, 1958. After a chance encounter, Ralf and Elsa begin a love affair that will change everything. Both of them bear scars from their continent's violent upheavals. The end of the war brought Ralf to Paris, where he feels he can both hide from the past and try to gradually overcome it. Elsa meanwhile tries to hide her past from Ralf, but as they fall more deeply in love she faces a dilemma - can she trust him to forgive her for all of her transgressions? In a Paris recovering from the Second World War but riven by protests and discontent as the old world order falls away, Ralf tries desperately to hold on to the only person he has ever felt he belongs with, while facing the prospect of a reality where love might not be enough. Deeply moving and sweeping in scope, Alex Christofi's second novel is an unforgettable love story as well as a profoundly affecting study of the personal cost of Europe's bloody 20th century.
