For sixteen years, Ines has kept a second bank account, a second phone and a second life in another city. None of it is an affair - all of it is necessary. But when her husband Jonas finds a single bank receipt in her jacket pocket, the carefully guarded scaffolding of silence begins to crack. What starts as a question about 640 euros leads deep into a past Ines has never spoken of - and puts a marriage, a family and the question of how much truth love can bear to the test. A moving, quietly powerful novel about loyalty, guilt and the secrets we keep out of love.
