Synopsis
A deceptively simple, emotionally powerful novella about an intense friendship between two teenage boys that begins in Germany in 1932 - under the shadow of Hitler's rise to power - and reverberates across the decades. Reunion is a lesser-known classic that still passes under the radar but is adored by those who have read it. It combines the explosive compression of a fable with the emotional depth of an epic novel many times its length. This new hardback edition is introduced by Ali Smith, the Booker Prize-nominated author whose latest novel, Companion Piece, was published in April 2022. In Ali Smith's word, Reunion is a novella “whose slimness belies its heft. Its impact is stunning.”

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A deceptively simple, emotionally powerful novella about an intense friendship between two teenage boys that begins in Germany in 1932 - under the shadow of Hitler's rise to power - and reverberates across the decades.The romantic forested landscape of southwest Germany is the setting for the birth of a friendship that will haunt sixteen-year-old Hans Schwarz for the rest of his life. Hans is Jewish, the son of a doctor who is confident that the rise of the Nazis is only 'a temporary illness' afflicting his beloved country. Hans's new classmate, Konradin von Hohenfels, is a dazzling young aristocrat whose mother keeps a portrait of Hitler on her dressing-table. Hans is immediately drawn to Konradin, and thrilled when a close bond forms between them, forged by common interests that set them apart from the other boys. But their loyalties are soon tested in ways they could not have imagined. Three decades later, from the vantage point of New York City, Hans once again confronts this life-shaping episode from his youth, through a stunning revelation that he stumbles upon by chance. In its story of friendship undone by History, Reunion combines the explosive compression of a fable with the emotional depth of an epic novel many times its length.
