The Moment

"A cultural icon." -Colum McCann, National Book Award winner

"Douglas Kennedy should be a household name." - Entertainment Weekly

New York Times bestselling author Douglas Kennedy's immensely powerful tale explores the ways we project on to others that which our own hearts so desperately seek.

When a mysterious box arrives in the mail, a solitary American writer haunted by the long shadows of Cold War Berlin is forced to grapple with a past—and an intense love affair—he has never discussed with another living soul. Readers will lose themselves in the richly complex moral layers of The Moment from its "evocative prose" to its "spellbinding finish" (Kirkus Reviews).

"Kennedy is astonishing at communicating his characters' emotional turmoil... and he tosses tough ethical questions our way as he ponders the 'moment' that could change everything-and the very nature of love." —Library Journal (starred review)

"Kennedy's narrative virtuosity drives a story that blends romance and thrills in the right proportion.... The sense of place is palpable." —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"The denouement will have you feeling about as intense as printed words can make you." —The Times (London)

"Readers are bound to fall under the sway of this richly romantic novel set against the melancholy backdrop of a divided city."           -Booklist
