Beschreibung

<p><strong>A panoramic novel of European history, by an internationally bestselling writer. </strong></p><p><em>The whole truth, as the name implies, is the collective knowledge of all those involved. Which is why you can never piece it together again properly afterwards. Because a few of those who possessed a part of it are always already dead. Or lying, or their memories are bad. </em></p><p>It's 1989, and in a small town on the Austria-Hungary border, nobody talks about the war; the older residents pretend not to remember, and the younger ones are too busy making plans to leave. The walls are thin, the curtains twitch, there is a face at every window, and everyone knows what they are not supposed to say.</p><p>But as thousands of East German refugees mass at the border, it seems that the past is knocking on Darkenbloom's door.</p><p>Still, though, nobody talks about the war.</p><p>Until a mysterious visitor shows up asking questions.</p><p>Until townspeople start receiving threatening letters and even disappearing.</p><p>Until a body is found.</p><p><em>Darkenbloom</em> is a sweeping novel of exiled counts, Nazis-turned-Soviet-enforcers, secret marriages, mislabelled graves, remembrance, guilt, and the devastating power of silence, by one of Austria's most significant contemporary writers.</p>
