Tahara
On his first morning at the Cannes film festival, movie critic Marcel Klein is starstruck – not by an actor, but by Héloïse, a beautiful woman with a troubling secret. Each time they meet – at press events, parties and premieres – they test each other's limits. But when Marcel's countless lies threaten to catch up with him, the two of them get in a car and leave Cannes behind, hoping to outrun the past. A deeply moving and fast-paced novel about love and lies.

»Bergmann tells of a crazy love, so fast that it makes me almost breathless while reading.«
»Moving, with lots of tempo, also the surprising twist at the end of the book fits impeccably.«
»A dance on the edge of the abyss, told with ease and lightness.«
»[Bergmann’s] writing is comical, gripping, plot-driven, often slapstick — and yet he addresses the big, existential questions.«
