My Mother's Lover

Published by Diogenes as Der Geliebte der Mutter
Original Title: Der Geliebte der Mutter

When she meets him, in the town by the lake in the 1920s, she is young, beautiful and rich, while he – though also young – is penniless, with only one thought in his head: music. New music. His great dream is to find an orchestra to play Bartók, Krenek and Prokofiev – all the young, unknown composers. At the end of her life, he is a famous conductor and the richest man in the country, and she is poor and still driven by her unceasing love for him – which neither he nor anyone else knows about. ›My Mother's Lover‹ is the story of a woman's dumb, obsessive passion, described by her son. It is the narration of a lifelong tragedy written from a reserved distance which almost transforms pain into serenity.
