In 1929 the young Christopher Isherwood arrives in Berlin, where Marlene Dietrich stalks the stage, while in Paris Picasso paints his young mistress Marie-Thérèse Walter and Jean-Paul Sartre waits anxiously for Simone de Beauvoir in a tearoom. Using letters, diaries and published writing, this book follows the lives and loves of writers and artists through what WH Auden called the ’low, dishonest decade’ leading up to the Second World War.
1930s Europe - as the Roaring Twenties wind down and the world rumbles towards war, the great minds of the time have other concerns.
Jean-Paul Sartre waits anxiously in a Parisian cafe for his first date with no-show Simone de Beauvoir. Marlene Dietrich slips from her loveless marriage into the dive bars of Berlin. Father and son Thomas and Klaus Mann clash over each other's homosexuality. And Vladimir Nabokov lovingly places a fresh-caught butterfly at the end of Vera's bed. Little do they all know, the book burning will soon begin.
Love in a Time of Hate skilfully interweaves some of the greatest love stories of the 1930s with the darkening backdrop of fascism in Europe, in an irresistible journey into the past that brings history and its actors to vivid life.
