Their love at first sight grows under hard conditions into a lifelong bond, though neither knows it will turn to despair. Years later, in Berlin, he loses her to an incurable illness and lives through her decline day by day. Blending fact and dream, the book follows how love can turn into pity and unmet hopes into grief, while holding that love outlasts death.
