Impossible Love by Roman Frister HB $59.95 Some years ago Roman Frister came across an old suitcase in a Tel Aviv flea market. It contained documents and photos belonging to several generations of the Levy family - Jews living in Prussia from around the middle of the 19th century up until the beginning of the Second World War. He managed to trace some of the descendants and with their help has written their history - a detailed and involving narrative set against the turbulent backdrop of Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries. Roman Frister recreates the same compelling, intellectually engaging style that he used in The Cap: The Price of a Life in this meticulously structured book which reads like an epic novel.
