THE #1 INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER'Bernhard Schlink speaks straight to the heart' New York Times
Olga is an orphan raised by her grandmother in a Silesian village at the start of the 20th century, Smart and precocious, she fights against the prejudices of the time to find her place in a world that sees her as second-best,
When she falls in love with Herbert, a local aristocrat obsessed with the era's dreams of power, glory and greatness, her life is irremediably changed,
Theirs is a love against all odds, entwined with the twisting paths of German history, leading us from the late 19th to the early 21st century, from Germany to Africa and the Arctic, from the Baltic Sea to Southwest Germany,
This is the story of that love, of Olga's devotion to a restless man - told in thought, letters and in a fateful moment of great rebellion,

Pressezitat
From the author of The Reader comes a brilliant new novel about history and the nature of memory... The story of Olga, translated here from German by Charlotte Collins, is the story of Germany's modern history. It is also a study of memory... You should read this novel if you appreciate the power of history. How do we remember each other? As individuals, or as parts of a larger whole? As they were, or as we wish they had been? The narration can be breakneck: decades pass in single sentences, while other paragraphs describe mere moments. This is the effect of memory; lives are condensed into a series of experiences and relationships. One line still sticks in my head, in a letter from a Norwegian bookseller. "History is not the past as it really was. It's the shape we give it". Evening Standard
