Berlin. 11 July 1986. They meet by chance on a bus. She is a young
student, he is older and married. Theirs is an intense and sudden
attraction, fuelled by a shared passion for music and art, and
heightened by the secrecy they must maintain. But when she strays
for a single night he cannot forgive her and a dangerous crack
forms between them, opening up a space for cruelty, punishment and
the exertion of power. And the world around them is changing too:
as the GDR begins to crumble, so too do all the old certainties and
the old loyalties, ushering in a new era whose great gains also
involve profound loss. From a prize-winning German writer, this is
the intimate and devastating story of the path of two lovers
through the ruins of a relationship, set against the backdrop of a
seismic period in European history.
