For the first time in Russian, the last novel by Bernhard Shlinka, the author of the famous "reader", a piercing story about the clash of generations, about the impossibility of forgetting his past, about the paradoxes of love and time.
Caspar and Birgit lived together all their lives. Many years ago, she fled to him from East Berlin to West, towards love and freedom. However, only now, in the declining years, Kaspar was destined to find out about the price that Birgit had to pay for his flight. Once, having returned home, Caspar discovers his wife in the bathroom. She committed suicide. In search of answers, Caspar is immersed in the past of a woman, which, as it seemed to him, he knew well. Some questions give rise to others, Caspar’s investigation leads him to strange, gloomy places where the past is again revived to life
