A Place Beyond the Heart is a collection of short stories exploring issues at the intersection of war and love, terror and (dis)order, as well as identity, gender, and sexuality. The stories capture the lives of people facing personal, societal and transcultural challenges that define, transform, and ultimately create shifts in the way they see and experience the world.
A masterful evocation of past wrongs through the lens of a seductively peaceful present. Amatoritsero Ede's meditative voice seduces us into a voyeuristic trance on a German river bank.
