'There are war stories and there are love stories, but we only
occasionally get war stories and love stories braided together. Tim
Finch has written a wonderful novel, tiny and epic both. Laced with
humour and sadness, this is an intimate account of what it means to
make peace, both with others and with oneself' COLUM McCANN 'A
shrewd delight' independent.co.uk Edvard Behrens is a senior
diplomat of some repute, highly regarded for his work on
international peace negotiations. Under his arbitration,
unimaginable atrocities are coolly dissected; invisible and ancient
lines, grown taut and frayed with conflict, redrawn. In his latest
post, Edvard has been sent a nondescript resort hotel in the Tyrol.
High up on this mountain, the air is bright and clear. When he
isn't working, Edvard reads, walks, listens to music. He confides
in no one - no one but his wife Anna. Anna, who he loves with all
his heart; Anna, always present and yet forever absent. Honest,
honourable, tragic, witty, wise, an unforgettable novel of love,
loss, and the human longing for peace, Peace Talks maps the darkest
and most tender territories of the human heart.
