The novel “The Love of Frau Kleist” is not a throwaway pop song, but a masterly symphonic work created to last. This is a novel-music that can be listened to many times, because everything in it is a pleasure: a magnificent language, an amazing sense of rhythm, a polyphony of motives and the truth that lifts the veil over eternity. This is a novel about love that protects a person from the constant awareness of his mortality. This is a book about passion, which, like a typhoon, draws two souls into its wild, happy turn and destroys everything around. This is a novel about the nature of love, which is never sinful.
