A compelling thriller set in last days of East Germany from the author of THE EINSTEIN GIRL. In the twilight years of the communist regime in East Germany, Bruno Krug, author and People's Champion of Art and Culture, falls for Theresa Aden, a music student from the West. But Theresa has also caught the eye of a cocky young scriptwriter who seems to delight in satirising Krug's latter-day offerings. When Bruno discovers that a mysterious manuscript his editor has asked him to appraise is the work of his rival he finds himself in a quandary.

Rezension zu „Sington, P: The Valley of Unknowing “
"The Valley of Unknowing is simply superb: affecting but never melodramatic, literary but never less than thrilling." Financial Times "A literary thriller, superbly anchored in place and time. Having lived in East Germany I am astonished by Sington's pitch-perfect recreation of that society.this is a brilliant, evocative and accurate novel, a gripping hard-nosed authentic thriller." -- Peter Millar The Times "A flawless, gripping and penetrating depiction of life in the former East Germany, wrapped up as a literary thriller...his feeling for not just time and place but atmosphere and way of life is perfect in a way no other Western writer, not even John Le Carre, has achieved" The Oldie "Elegiac and bittersweet" The Times
