In silence we love

Inspired by a true story, this suspenseful and poetic novel follows that fateful and tragic day in the lives of five families living in a single building in Berlin.

Its residents go about their lives, respectfully ignoring each other and dodging those they love most, unaware that in fifteen short hours nothing will ever be the same. A malfunctioning refrigerator in an empty apartment is gathering momentum to burst into flames.

Regular people caught in an electrifying drama—mothers, sons, daughters and fathers, silent and fearful—trapped and unable to express their sentiments, fighting battles their neighbours know nothing about.
