For:Readers of short European novellas, those interested in Jewish-German history and readers who appreciate painterly prose.

 "He entered my life in February 1932 never to leave. Since then, it has been more than a quarter-century, more than nine thousand tedious and purposeless days, which the absence of hope has rendered all equally empty - days and years, many of which as dead as the dry leaves on a withered tree."
