Schwüle Tage

by Eduard von Keyserling

Graf Bill von Fernow, having failed his Abitur exams, is sent by his father to the family estate for the summer instead of joining the rest of the family on a beach vacation. At the estate, he encounters a fascinating mix of relatives and neighbors, including a young woman who captures his heart. However, Bill also uncovers a painful secret about his father’s past, casting a shadow over his idyllic summer and forcing him to confront difficult truths about his family and himself. This nuanced story explores themes of love, family secrets, and the challenges of coming-of-age in a complex social environment.
