The enchanting new novel by bestselling author Anne Stern, takes place during the Berlin Olympics of 1936, in a highly sensual place: the Chocolaterie Sawade, a haven of delicate chocolate creations, the finest marzipan and magnificent aromas. Elfie, who runs the chocolate shop, bookseller Franz Marcus and their neighbours, manage to keep their humanity in inhumane times. Then Elfie stumbles onto the secret of a very special praline – and a forbidden love affair. But will she find the courage to pursue her own desires? A moving and poetic novel full of gentle encounters, bittersweet and passionate love stories – and, of course, countless different types of chocolate.
Description
Written in enchantingly beautiful prose, Three Days in August tells the powerful story of one woman’s experience of being different. Of a chocolate shop that becomes a place of refuge, for her as well as for others. This is an exceptionally beautiful novel, full of tender sensuality and remarkable characters.
Author
born in 1982, is a historian with a doctorate in German Studies. She lives in Berlin with her husband and their three children. Her novels about the midwife ‘Fräulein Gold’ became Spiegel bestsellers. In the course of her research, Anne Stern came across Sawade, a chocolate manufacturer, and the moving history of Berlin’s legendary boulevard Unter den Linden. Soon, her novel was about much more than just a chocolate shop. It became a story of the power of imagination and beauty in dark times – and of one extraordinary woman.
