What normally happens in the summer, happens: a young man and a woman meet. The man can hold his breath and tongue, the woman wants more than she can get. They form a family because that is what you are supposed to do. Children are born who never reach adulthood.

The young man has a sister, a good person, whose destiny is sealed by her love for Adolf Hitler. War begins and it does not end in peace. They all wage it, till the end of their lives.

Union is a tragicomic novel about people whose dreams and demands go unheeded by life.

It is a story of people who unintentionally bravely and stoically endure one war just to be faced with another. They adapt, desist and survive with the help of, and in spite of, each other. Union is a grand narrative of ordinary people. It makes you laugh and cry, it is simultaneously merciless and merciful - as unreasonable as life itself.
