This is a stunning novel, ruthlessly brilliant. It has the pace of a thriller and the passion of a love story. It takes the outer and inner worlds of human experience to their limit, and transmutes both, unerringly, with the cool inevitability which indicates excellence, into literature' ­ Fay Weldon
'In The Border Elaine Feinstein has explored a territory that is as real in human terms as it is hallucinatory in its sharp-cut perception of pain, love, betrayal-and of the frail borders between political violence and sexual treachery. A continually shifting land, described with brilliance in its imagery and with painstaking honesty' ­ Emma Tennant
This is a story about decisions, and the difficulty in making them, as Hitler's power spreads across Europe. It is told through linked diaries, letters, interviews and poems, which portray the three main characters as they pursue their own love story to its end. Across their obsessions, the figure of Waiter Benjamin, first in Paris, then at the Spanish border, adds a poignant dimension to their hopes and fate.
