Pitched as [x] [Sthg book club, w/ depth & growth] meets [y] [Sthg spicy! But not gratuitous], a poignant [Too much?], emotionally rich, heartfelt, smart and sexy [Word salad? But it’s all there! Let’s also weave in it’s funny. And immersive.] love story about a disciplined student who falls for edgy, leafy, laid-back post-Cold War Berlin—and for her host, a single dad struggling with his future. But she can’t stay.

Soph was born in a barn, but soon spread her wings to roam the forests at night. She now lives at the top of a tower and collects mice (well, their bones). When not hooting her next novel, she enjoys moon-gazing. She wishes she were as effortlessly cool as Hedwig but suspects she’s more of an Archimedes. [Finally a decent bio!]
