Venus, Vanishing - Rebecca Birrell

$34.99

This is a dark, passionate historical literary novel set in Berlin in 1928, as the city’s artistic freedom and queer nightlife begin to fall under the shadow of rising fascism. Hannah is a young runaway artist trying to build a new life in Berlin. She embraces the city’s pleasure, creativity and sexual freedom, but her world becomes increasingly dangerous when she begins an intense affair with the wife of a powerful man. As people start disappearing and political darkness closes in, Hannah’s art becomes both a possible lifeline and a threat. It sounds like a tense, sensual and emotionally heavy story about desire, queer love, survival, power, and the art lost or silenced by history.
