The novel's very subject is the instability of stories, the unreliability of memory and the way we look for truths where perhaps there are none. (Claire Allfree Daily Mail 2016-09-23)
An intelligent and subtle novel . . . incisive and illuminating (Alastair Mabbott Herald (Scotland) 2016-09-17)
Gstrein has succeeded in writing a great novel about spiritual seduction, ideological vulnerability and the fragility of memory (Christoph Schröder Die Tageszeitung)
A magnificent tale, about all that makes up life (Andreas Wirthensohn Wiener Zeitung)
A pleasing blend of Gstrein's classic themes of small town and the universal, homeland and exile, trauma and liberation, innocence and hubris (Andreas Brietenstein Neue Zürcher Zeitung)
Probably Gstrein's best novel yet . . . melodic, rhythmic, elegant (Christoph Schröder Kulturspiegel)
Once again we are dazzled by an author who leads us through complex uncertainties to what is simple and true (Simone Dattenberger Münchner Merkur)
Gstrein unfolds a magnificently achieved game of memory, guilt and multiple layers of time (Ernst Osterkamp Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung)

A poignant novel of political-religious awakening by one of Germany's literary stars
An anonymous phone call, an unattended bag discovered in the station of a small Austrian town, a piece of paper saying, "Repent!" and "Next time it will be for real!" A C.C.T.V. image of a young man. What was it that made the teacher think it was his old student, Daniel?
Ten years earlier Daniel had spent time with the teacher in his remote house by the river. The town had talked. Anton had recently returned from two years teaching in Istanbul - he was unsettled, subversive, solitary. Daniel was on the brink of adulthood - idealistic, unrequitedly in love with Judith, vulnerable to influence.
Those summer weeks by the river were an idyll. But did they also sow the seeds of Daniel's later obsessiveness, his biblical attitudes, his political dogmatism? As the bomb threat excites the community with all the tension of a witch hunt, and Anton himself becomes a focus for suspicion and gossip, he anatomises his memories of the preceding decade. What went wrong for Daniel, and could he have stopped it?
