Alex
Capus’s
novels
have
been
runaway
best-sellers
in
Germany,
and
his
novelLéon
and
Louise received
widespread
critical
acclaim
on
its
English
publication
in
2012.
A Price to Pay, the fourth of Capus’s novels to be published in English, tells the interwoven stories of three disparate figures from interwar Switzerland: pacifist Felix Bloch, who ends up working on the Manhattan Project; Laura d’Oriano, who wants to become a singer but instead becomes an Allied spy in fascist Italy; and Emile Gillieron, who accompanies Heinrich Schliemann to Troy and becomes one of art’s greatest forgers. Taking off from the only moment in history when all three were in the same place—a November day in 1924 at Zürich Station—Capus traces their diverging paths as they secure their places in the annals of history—but at what price?

Recenzii
“There
is
much
here
to
appreciate.
.
.
.
Capus’
characters
were
real
people
who,
in
their
own
unique
ways,
helped
shape
the
previous
century.
He
does
them
justice
in
his
captivating
novel
by
fleshing
them
out
and
allowing
them
to
breathe
and
pulse
on
the
page.”
