Description
"1943 Christmas Eve on the shore of the North Sea: a little girl, four years old, sings Silent Night for Hitler's troops. A half-century later, now a singer and a famous film actress, Ingrid Caven gives a recital at an official reception in Jerusalem's Citadel of David. In performance, she always had "the cool of a bullfighter, the concentration of a Buddhist monk and the brilliant fancy of a whorehouse queen."" "This novel is based on the life of the extraordinary German cabaret singer and film actress who was once director Rainer Werner Fassbinder's star, and his wife, muse to Yves Saint Laurent, and a protege of Pierre Berge. Consisting of memories, real and invented people and events, Ingrid Caven reveals the cold heart of the European counterculture of the 1970s, an era of celebrity glitz, cocaine-fueled excesses, gay bathhouses, and young idealists-turned-terrorists."--BOOK JACKET.
