A red coral bracelet holds the key to a grandmother's life story, an unrequited love turns into an obsession, a summerhouse uncovers long-buried memories. Set against the backdrop of contemporary Berlin, Judith Hermann's Summerhouse, Later delivers a stunning portrait of love and loss, infusing singular, universally shared moments with an extraordinary poignancy and hope. Alternately haunting and tender, dramatic and powerfully spare, her stories explore the fundamental themes of love and isolation, and above all, the fear of not living life to its fullest.
