Rome one January afternoon in 1943. A young German woman is on her way to listen to a Bach concert at the Lutheran church. Innocent and nave, the war is for her little more than a day-dream, until she realizes that her husband might never return.This is a mesmerizing psychological portrait of the human need to safeguard innocence and integrity at any cost - even at the risk of excluding reality. A literary masterpiece by one of Germany's most renowned contemporary writers. THE GUARDIAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2010 ",The book's last paragraph, overtly expressing nothing more than the young woman's intention to write a letter, is one of the most moving conclusions I've ever read.", Nick Lezard, The Guardian ",What a superb translation. This extraordinary and eloquent novella, a true tour de force, has made me long to find more of Delius's work straightway.", Miranda Seymour, author
