Author's third novel. A story within a story of a Jewish family of itinerant clockmakers spanning four centuries and two continents. "A moving and convincing testimony to the continuing tension between the desire for assimilation and the awareness of separateness. [...] Marcel Möring [is] beyond doubt one of the most imaginative and perceptive novelists writing today." –Times Literary Supplement
