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.\n\nFrom 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.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback \/ softback | 304 pages | Published April 2024\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63956642169181,"sku":"9781783786138","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0978\/3459\/8749\/files\/9781783786138.jpg?v=1774263527","url":"https:\/\/www.thebookmark.ie\/products\/kairos-winner-of-the-international-booker-prize","provider":"The Bookmark ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
