A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week It's as if they're made for each
other. Two men, both falling, but holding each other up for a time.
Ostend, 1936: the Belgian seaside town is playing host to a coterie
of artists, intellectuals and madmen, who find themselves in limbo
while Europe gazes into an abyss of fascism and war. Among them is
Stefan Zweig, a man in crisis: his German publisher has shunned
him, his marriage is collapsing, his house in Austria no longer
feels like home. Along with his lover Lotte, he seeks refuge in
this paradise of promenades and parasols, where he reunites with
his estranged friend Joseph Roth. For a moment, they create a
fragile haven; but as Europe begins to crumble around them, they
find themselves trapped on an uncanny kind of holiday, watching the
world burn. 'Evocative, sharply drawn portraits... an engrossing
history' Kirkus, starred review 'Sparkling...Weidermann's
storytelling is piquant' Publishers Weekly 'Brilliantly researched
and riveting' Die Welt
