The new, large novel by Irene Dische following "Grossmama packt aus." In New York in the early 1970s, Lili and Duke become a couple: she, the daughter of a white intellectual family, raised with every opportunity, and he, the young black man from the South. Their shared life quickly develops into a rapid rollercoaster of ups and downs, full of possibilities, temptations, and setbacks. They rely on each other, but behind Lili's beauty, charm, intelligence, and sophistication lies a murderous rage that threatens to consume everything and everyone.
