Description
Sofia Lambert is ninety-six, and she has dementia. At least, that is what the staff at Einheim believe - the celebrated dementia village near Maastricht that Sofia herself founded. In secret, Sofia is writing. She has a story to tell, and she is running out of time. Born to an undocumented Belgian chambermaid, Sofia grew up across the railways and borders of interwar Europe. She became a wartime censor, an interpreter at Potsdam and at the signing of the Treaties of Rome - and, for forty years, the lover of two remarkable men. One English, one German. Both pacifists. Neither, perhaps, quite what he seemed.
