This was the September book for the Readers Without Borders book club. It takes place outside Vienna in what seems to be late 1930s/early 1940s. The General is meeting with his best friend, Konrad, after 41 years. He is hoping to get answers for the last evening he, his wife, and his friend spent together, and to find out how deep the betrayal went.
This was originally published over 40 years ago and has recently seen a new popularity, after being translated into English. It was very deep, dragged on, and seem more like Russian literature than I enjoy. I must say this was a book I wouldn't have read on my own, but that is what I really like about book club.
