“[E]ach word that is spoken or left unsaid becomes important in a cat-&-mouse mind game that gives this pensive story some elements of a thriller. The love that’s described is always on thin ice. Hausler’s ability to describe the precarious state of the emotions involved is consistently convincing. . . . A strongly written tale about resurrecting a marriage under the most unusual & mysterious of circumstances.” — Kirkus Reviews

In her beautifully written debut novel, Kat Hausler weaves a haunting tale of the tenuous nature of love.

On a warm summer day in Berlin, Helena is hit by a truck while crossing the street. She awakens to the loving face of her husband Joachim, but can’t remember anything about the accident, or even the last few years leading up to it. Retrograde amnesia the doctors call it & assure her that with time, she should regain her memory. Joachim doesn’t intend to lie to his estranged wife, Helena. But when he realizes that she doesn’t remember their separation, he can’t bring himself to tell her, so he takes her home & pretends they were never apart. 

As the lies accumulate, Helena senses something isn’t quite right—that her husband is hiding something. When the outside world encroaches, Helena must face an unsettling truth & decide what the past will mean for their future.
