Reunion

Resumen del libro

From the Publishers of Stoner and Revolutionary Road Comes Reunion. Reunion is a little-known novel. But it is also a universal story of friendship.

It is a book of great power, waiting to be discovered. On a grey afternoon in 1932, a Stuttgart classroom is stirred by the arrival of a newcomer. Middle-class Hans is intrigued by the aristocratic new boy, Konradin, and before long they become best friends.

It's a friendship of the greatest kind, of shared interests and long conversations, of hikes in the German hills and growing up together. But the boys live in a changing Germany. Powerful, delicate and daring, Reunion is a story of the fragility, and strength, of the bonds between friends.

"Exquisite." (Guardian). "I loved Reunion and found it very moving." (John Boyne With and Afterword by Rachel Seiffert).
