There she meets Hanne Schmidt a teen prostitute and forms a bond that will last them through tumultuous love affairs disastrous marriages and destitution during the First World War and the subsequent economic collapse.

Gripping and darkly seductive The Luminous Life of Lilly Aphrodite showcases all the glitter and splendour of the brief heyday of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Hollywood to its golden age. As it foreshadows the horrors of the Second World War the novel asks what price is paid when identity becomes unfixed and the social order is upended.
