Charlotte Maybach and Eby Tusch have known each other since childhood. They grew up together at a boarding school on Lake Constance—a friendship that has endured even through years of separation. In her early thirties, Charlotte leads a successful, respected life as a notary, yet she feels unfulfilled. Eby, the last scion of a Cologne-Vienna family of showmen, cared for his father through his battle with dementia, took over the family business, and lost a great love. Both have reached a point where nothing seems certain anymore. When they meet again, the focus isn’t on missed opportunities, but on unanswered questions: How do you want to live once you’ve discovered who you really are?

“This love story between a baker’s daughter from Cologne and the son of a swing boat brakeman from Vienna is *Jules and Jim* for the 21st century. With the observational skills of a Jane Austen and the sociological insight of a Henry James, Sasa Hanten writes the novel of our time. A book full of wit, spirit, and comfort. Irresistible. Unforgettable. Unsurpassable.” (Literary critic Denis Scheck on the novel)
