Description:

An epic novel in which the hotel Waldhaus in the Swiss mountain village of Waltenberg is central to the action, which takes place in Europe from the First World War to the collapse of the Soviet Union. It tells the story of the love between Hans Kappler, a German novelist, and Lena Hotspur, an American singer. It is also a spy story.

Synopsis:

A riveting spy novel and major work of literature, Waltenberg is the compelling tale of Michael Lilstein, an East German spymaster and Auschwitz survivor who recruits a mysterious young Frenchman to act as a mole, much to the interest of the CIA. Intertwined with this history is the relationship between a German novelist and an American singer, and the friendship between the novelist and a French journalist- but at its heart Waltenberg is an espionage novel and betrayal lies at its core.
