<p><font face="Verdana">In the spring of 1957， a young German woman arrives in Paris to take a position as housekeeper to a bachelor flautist. Soon Saffie and Raphael are married and a son， Emil， is born. One day， Saffie and Emil go on an errand to the Marais - the Jewish Quarter - where they encounter an intriguing instrument maker， Andras. Thus begins a passionate affair that will last a decade. Framed within the love triangle is an exploration of the ways in which individual lives and historical events intersect， from the Soviet invasion of Budapest to the Kennedy assassination， and the different ways in which the German woman and the Hungarian Jew remember World War II and the Algerian war for independence.</font></p>
