For nearly three years, Conrad has been thinking about Axel von Gottberg. Von Gottberg was garrotted on the orders of Hitler in August 1944. He was thirty-five years old, and looked, although not in profile, like him, with thinning hair and a longish, northern-European face. Northern-European hair is inclined to throw in the towel early. Thoughts of von Gottberg visit him at any hour of the day, without warning.
Inspired by the friendship between Isaiah Berlin and Adam von Trott, who was executed for his part in the 'generals' plot'. Conrad is a rather wayward freelance journlaist, who develops a fascination with an Oxford don, Elya Mendel and a German aristocrat,von Gottberg. He thinks there is book to be written, and believes he must track down a film, made for Hitler's entertainment, of Gottberg's execution.
Interwoven in this complex narrative is the breakdown of Conrad's relationship with Francine. She is a doctor, and their tensions seem to reflect a divide between art and science.
Once upon a time they had discussed films and books and ideas; she had been charmed by his inchoate eagerness. What charmed her then now seems infantile to her. The scientific life has got to her, as though all those chemicals and miserable people and - let's face it - death, have somehow driven her into the arms of the superior class who deal with the real world, who have the power of life and death and who know folly and self-indulgence when they see it.
She tells him:
"Underneath all that airy-fairy charm you are just a vicious little prick. People like you who sneer at honest endeavour and science and actually doing something for people, while reading the fucking Guardian and having an opinion on everything, from politics to football."
Ouch!
Then again, Francine is also someone who "Demanded a regular cull of books as though there was a limit to the number of books you needed at any one time. Anything over that limit, for example, books you were never likely to read again, was an indulgence."
This is a powerful and brave novel, but I shared some of the reservations voiced by Adam Mars-Jones in his review for The Guardian.
