Living a very private life in Maine, in touch only with his daughter and still trying to recover from the end of a long marriage, his solitude is disrupted one wintry morning by the arrival of a box that is postmarked Berlin. The name on the boxDussmannunsettles him completely, for it belongs to the woman with whom he had an intense love affair twenty-six years ago in Berlin, in the deep shadows of the Cold War. A love story of great epic sweep and immense emotional power, The Moment explores why and how we fall in loveand the way we project on to others that which our hearts so desperately seek. In his conversation with Authorlink, Douglas Kennedy talks about how much of himself lies in the novel, and about the characteristics a writer must have to be successful in today's publishing world.
