Alex Schulman
Burn all my letters
Where does this deep anger that Alex harbours come from? In his search for answers, he comes across his grandmother's story, which shows how passion and jealousy can dig their way into a family over decades and generations.
Summer 1932: 24-year-old Karin falls in love with the young writer Olof. But there's a problem: Karin is married to Sven, a tempestuous, high-ranking writer with a cruel streak. Will she dare to leave her husband and start a different life with her new-found love? 68 years later, Karin's grandson Alex, author and father of three, wonders why he harbours such rage; a rage that frightens his children and creates a rift between him and his wife. He comes across the story of two unhappy lovers whose anger reaches all the way to him.
‘His book is not a thriller and yet it couldn't be more exciting.’ Christine Westermann, Stern
‘An insanely clever, fascinating, harrowing novel.’ Frank Dietschreit, rbb Kultur
dtv Verlag | Hardcover edition | 304 pages | Dimensions (L/W/H) 21.1/13.2/2.4 cm | 400 g | Language German
