Einer der beiden erzählt von seiner Freundschaft zu einem jungen Mann, der ihm seine traumatische Kindheit anvertraut hatte. Und dass er selbst dann einen Bestseller geschrieben hat, der dieser Geschichte vielleicht zu nah kommt ... Getrieben durch ihre eigene Geschichte, beschließt die Heldin dieses Buches herauszufinden, was wirklich zwischen den beiden Männern passiert ist.

Partener media: DIGI FM Un adevarat manifest al credintei in puterea cuvintelor si a literaturii."e; - El CulturalIntr-o calatorie nocturna cu trenul intre Londra si Edinburgh, Alicia poarta o conversatie cu Terry, scriitor si profesor de literatura, si cu Bou, elevul acestuia. Terry le vorbeste despre succesul celui mai recent roman al sau, inspirat de secretele lui Hans, un tanar cu care a avut o relatie ambigua. Dar Hans a disparut dupa publicarea romanului. Oare avem dreptul sa transformam viata altei persoane intr-un roman? Este etic sa scrii despre confesiunile pe care le auzi? Care sunt limitele fictiunii? Fascinata de aceste intrebari, care o determina sa-si examineze propriile amintiri, Alicia simte nevoia sa descopere ce s-a intamplat cu adevarat intre cei doi barbati si sa-l gaseasca pe Hans.Nimic mai iluzoriu aduce in discutie puterea literaturii si linia fina care separa realitatea de fictiune, intr-o naratiune captivanta despre tradare, pierdere si vinovatie. O aventura neasteptata. O retea subtila de povesti si de cuvinte care te fascineaza si te invaluie, care te cucereste fara sa vrei, ca pe un copil care asculta cu gura cascata o poveste frumoasa.
