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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shelf-Made.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52063375425864,"sku":"9781783786138","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/1260\/5000\/files\/9781783786138_5ea1b2bb-be1f-4fbb-b32a-dce50b7dfb6a.jpg?v=1764081723","url":"https:\/\/shelfmadebooks.com\/products\/9781783786138","provider":"Shelf-Made.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
