Watch Eleanor Tomlinson (eleanortomlinson) read an extract from Kairos, the #InternationalBooker2024-winning novel written by Jenny Erpenbeck and translated by Michael Hofmann.

The story so far: Berlin, 11 July 1986. Katharina and Hans meet by chance on a bus. She is a young student, he is older and married. Theirs is an intense and sudden attraction, fuelled by a shared passion for music and art, and heightened by the secrecy they must maintain. But when she strays for a single night he cannot forgive her and a dangerous crack forms between them, opening up a space for cruelty, punishment and the exertion of power.
