” Eight White Nights” is an unforgettable journey through the experience of time & desire, where passion & fear & the sheer craving to ask for love & to show love can forever alter who we are. A man in his late twenties goes to a large Christmas party in Manhattan where a woman introduces herself with three words: `I am Clara.` Over the following seven days, they meet every evening in the snowy city. Overwhelmed yet cautious, he treads softly & won`t hazard a move. The tension between them builds, marked by ambivalence, hope, & distrust. Moving both closer together, then further apart, this amorous dance builds towards a New Year`s Eve charged with magic, the promise of renewal & love. ...

SHORTLISTED FOR THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2016. SHORTLISTED FOR THE GORDON BURN PRIZE 2016. SHORTLISTED FOR THE CWA NEW BLOOD DAGGER AWARD 2016. ” Fully lives up to the hype. A taut psychological thriller, rippled with comedy as black as a raven`s wing, Eileen is effortlessly stylish & compelling.” (Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, The Times). The Christmas season offers little cheer for Eileen Dunlop. Trapped between caring for her alcoholic father & her job as a secretary at the boys` prison, she tempers her dreary days with dreams of escaping to the big city. In the meantime, her nights & weekends are filled with shoplifting & cleaning up her increasingly deranged father`s messes.

When Louis Hagen returned to Berlin immediately after the war, having survived not only incarceration & torture in a German concentration camp but also the Battle of Arnhem, it was through a desire to see the great German eagle toppled, its talons drawn. The son of a wealthy Jewish banker, he had seen his family flee their home, & many of his relatives had died at the hands of the Third Reich. He wanted to understand the German people; why had so many welcomed the Nazi Party, & were they now humbled & wiser? Hagen interviewed nine people he had known before the war who represented a wide spectrum of German society. They were an SA officer, a businessman, a doctor, a socialite, a journalist, a professional soldier, an SS wife, a member of the Hitler Youth & a mischling, or half Jew. Four were Nazis, three were collaborators, & two were anti-Nazi. The very fact that none of these people was a high-ranking Nazi official or a survivor of the Holocaust provides an insight into the Third Reich that is a revelation even for those who know this period of history intimately. How could the Baroness sent to Theriesenstadt concentration camp hold salons for ex-Nazis after the war? Through the lives of nine ordinary Germans, tracing their experiences of Nazism from the first hopeful days until the horrors of the Russian occupation of Berlin, Louis Hagen provides a salutary & unforgettable record of the German people in the shadow of the swastika. ...
