Christoph has to meet Lena and tell her about his life – perhaps even about their shared story. Twenty years earlier, he had been in love with Magdalena, and when he meets Chris, Lena\u2019s boyfriend, he gradually realises that the young couple seem to be reliving his own past relationship.

This is a sweet story that navigates between reality and imagination and touches the part of us that sometimes wants to rewrite our lives. It\u2019s a story of love, time, memory and loss. I really liked the book for its subtle atmosphere and the delicate way it explores these emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
