When Kurt Weber inherits his great-uncle's lakeside house, he finds
traces of the dark secrets of his family's past. The early
inhabitants of the house haunt his dreams nightly. And one day a
ghostlike woman appears before him, hiding herself in a room that
had been kept locked throughout his childhood. Inside, Kurt finds a
hidden stash of photographs, letters, and documents. As he
deciphers them, he gradually understands the degree of complicity
in wartime horrors by his family and among his neighbors. As the
story unfolds, it becomes clear that the entire village adheres to
an old and widely understood agreement not to expose the many
members in the community who had been involved with a nearby prison
camp during World War II. This knowledge wraps the entire
community-those involved, and those who know of the involvement-in
inescapable guilt for generations. Translated from the original
German by Tess Lewis, Ludwig's Room is a story of love, betrayal,
honor, and cowardice, as well as the burden of history and the
moral demands of the present.
