The Hiding Game
The Hiding Game | Naomi Wood
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
In 1922, Paul Beckermann arrives at the Bauhaus art school and is immediately seduced by both the charismatic teaching and his fellow students. Eccentric and alluring, the more time Paul spends with his new friends the closer they become, and the deeper he falls in love with the mesmerising Charlotte. But Paul is not the only one vying for her affections, and soon an insidious rivalry takes root. As political tensions escalate in Germany, the Bauhaus finds itself under threat, and the group begins to disintegrate under the pressure of its own betrayals and love affairs. Decades later, in the wake of an unthinkable tragedy, Paul is haunted by a secret. When an old friend from the Bauhaus resurfaces, he must finally break his silence. Beautifully written, powerful and suspenseful, Naomi Wood's The Hiding Game is a novel about the dangerously fine line between love and obsession, set against the most turbulent era of our recent past.

I finished this today - basically, if it‘s anything to do with Germany and I find it, I‘ll read it. And this didn‘t disappoint. It has it all: art, in the form of Bauhaus; politics, in the rise of National Socialism; and relationships - just to add heartbreak and betrayal into the mix. It‘s such a good book.
