A Summer Affair (Penguin International Writers S.)

I luckily stumbled over Klima's books while living in Berlin, from where I made frequent trips to Prague. If you have ever visited Eastern Europe you will find some special enjoyment in reading this powerful novel.Everything about this book compells you to read it until your head hurts. Then read it again, lend it to your friends and then demand it back to read again. The dialogue is obessive, compulsive and passionate and throws you into the worlds off the two main characters. You will swirl when they swirl and dive when they dive. This is one book I have re-read just to try and understand "how does the author manage that"! Brilliant, buy it.
