Rippling waves

Caren Benedikt reads from her second part of the Grand Hotel Usedom saga.

A young woman caught between solving a murder, building a hotel and great love. Part of me wishes he hadn't come back. Another can hardly wait to hold him in my arms again.

Usedom, 1904: After the terrible events at the spring ball at the Ahlbecker Hof, Helene and Sophie von Höveln hire a private detective to solve the mysterious events on Usedom. Helene is completely absorbed in her work at the new literary hotel Atlantic and quickly competes with the Ahlbecker Hof run by her brother-in-law Friedrich Kaminski. Friedrich, on the other hand, allows the once noble hotel to degenerate into a stronghold of vice - and is prepared to do anything to prevent the rise of the Hotel Atlantic ...

When Helene's great love Christian returns from his trip to Europe, she immediately feels the old attraction. But she is now married and forbids herself any contact with him. How long can she resist the urge?
