  • "Hamburg 1946 - wenn aus Feinden Freunde werden Hamburg 1946: Ein englischer Offizier soll für die Entnazifizierung und den Wiederaufbau Deutschlands sorgen. Colonel Lewis Morgan wird mit seiner Familie in ein herrschaftliches Haus an der Elbe einquartiert. Seine Frau kann aber nicht verstehen, dass der Hausbesitzer Stefan Lubert nicht ausziehen muss. Sie findet die Idee, mit dem Feind unter einem Dach zu wohnen, unerträglich. Doch als sie den Alltag teilen, erkennt sie, wie grob und falsch ihr Bild von den Deutschen war. Nach und nach entwickelt sich eine unerhörte Nähe zwischen ihr und Stefan Lubert ... Ein selten beschriebenes Kapitel deutscher Geschichte - Rhidian Brook zeichnet ein enorm differenziertes Bild von einem Land, das am Boden liegt, von einer verstörten Bevölkerung, aber auch von dem Hoffnungsschimmer nach Tod und Vernichtung. Ein Roman von grösster Intensität. Rhidian Brook, geboren 1964, schreibt Drehbücher für Film und Fernsehen, Kurzgeschichten und Romane. Sein Debut 'The Testimony of Taliesin Jones' wurde vielfach ausgezeichnet, u .a. mit dem Somerset Maugham Award. Er lebt mit seiner Familie in London."

In this charged atmosphere, parents and children alike will be forced to confront their true selves as enmity and grief give way to passion and betrayal, their deepest desires, their fiercest loyalties, and the transforming power of forgiveness.--From publisher's description."@en
  • "Hamburg, 1946. Thousands remain displaced in what is now the British Occupied Zone. Charged with overseeing the rebuilding of this devastated city and the de-Nazification of its defeated people, Colonel Lewis Morgan has requisitioned a fine house on the banks of the Elbe, where he will be joined by his grieving wife, Rachael, and only remaining son, Edmund. But rather than force its owners, a German widower and his traumatised daughter, to leave their home, Lewis insists that the two families live together. In this charged and claustrophobic atmosphere, all must confront their true selves as enmity and grief give way to passion and betrayal. THE AFTERMATH is a stunning novel about our fiercest loyalties, our deepest desires, and the transforming power of forgiveness."
