Description
In a world still grappling with the shadows of its past, Robert Faehmel, a successful architect, finds his meticulously ordered life thrown into disarray. The arrival of an old schoolmate, a man deeply entrenched in the country's dark Nazi history, forces Robert to confront the unresolved traumas and moral compromises of his generation. As the past relentlessly intrudes upon the present, Robert must navigate a treacherous landscape of guilt, memory, and the enduring consequences of historical complicity. This powerful novel delves into the complexities of personal responsibility and the struggle for redemption in post-war Germany.
