A woman thirsting for independence, overwhelmed by the present she struggled to believe in: through the hard test of exile, Else must discover a new reality and a new life based on more than parties, travels, and love. This story submerges the reader in all the richness of an extraordinary lifestyle and brings to life the era of classical music concerts and Stefan Zweig novels, cabarets and modernist paintings, and Nazism and its terrible laws and prohibitions.

Eveline Clausen, the troubled protagonist, is the daughter of a German father and Jewish mother, who grows up during the ascension of Nazism. An autobiographical character that loses her naivety, innocence, begins to live avidly and intensely to dispel all the fears she's had since childhood. The men that pass through her life are similar means to avoid the hard reality of persecution and hunger, though they are also deceived by this young woman.
