Hour Between Dog and Wolf

Now in paperback, Silke Scheuermann's portrayal of intimacy and estrangement between sisters as they navigate rivalries, addiction, and shared love interests.

A young woman who has been living abroad returns to her hometown of Frankfurt am Main in Germany. Her sister Ines--a beautiful, impetuous painter--who still lives there, soon appears and promptly asks for financial help. But the returning sister knew this was coming--it is how their relationship has always worked. And this time, she's determined that that will change.

​But our plans don't always hold up to the surprises presented by life--and when the sister finds herself about to drift into an affair with Ines's lover, the two women grow unexpectedly closer. The Hour Between Dog and Wolf is a tale of disorientation in a modern, fundamentally rootless society that has become increasingly erratic and self-absorbed--it is a powerful exploration of the difficulties of intimacy and addiction.
