{"product_id":"9780241674468","title":"Mars in Aries","description":"\u003cp\u003eA haunting novel of love, fate and war from the Austrian master and acclaimed author of Baron Bagge and Count Luna ('A book so astonishing I immediately re-read it' - Patti Smith)`He'd had the feeling that he was expected there, on that day. But by whom?'Vienna, 1939. Lieutenant Wallmoden is preparing to take part in a mysterious `military exercise' when he meets the austerely beautiful Baroness Pistohlkors and her elusive circle of acquaintances. He promises to see her again - but then discovers his company has been mobilised for war. Marching across Europe, stumbling across the border between the living and the dead, one constant remains: he must keep his tryst with the Baroness, in this world or the next.   Banned by the Nazis and almost lost, Mars in Aries is an erotically charged ghost story, a shocking account of the invasion of Poland, and a mesmeric exploration of time and fate.
