A bright, tight, attractive copy. - - - "Born in New York in 1963, historian Hester Rosenfeld - very American and marginally Jewish - goes to Munich to research the life of Heinrich Falk and becomes his mistress. . . . Yet Hester has her secrets, too, and the longer she remains in Germany the harder it is to keep them concealed. As she uncovers more of the Falk family`s possible connection to Nazism, she finds herself reexamining her feelings about her own parents and her complicated attraction to Heinrich. As the lovers` intimacy deepens beyond the erotic, each suspects the other of hiding something about the past." - - - Display set in Anisette Composition by Molly Heron.
