Years later, after the upheavals of World War I, the two children are reunited on the baron's Frankfurt estate. Billy and Karin first bond over the popular Wild West stories of Karl May, and later over their passion for jazz and Berlin nightclubs. But they also come to share a fantasy of escape from the 1930s Germany that is rapidly darkening around them--escape to the high plains of Texas and New Mexico they'd read about as children. Against the backdrop of Hitler's rise to power, their friendship deepens into a love affair with extraordinarily high stakes. Brilliantly conceived and elegantly written, Peter Behrens's \u003ci\u003eCarry Me\u003c\/i\u003e is both an epic love story and a lucid meditation on Europe's violent twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePETER BEHRENS\u003c\/b\u003e's first novel, \u003ci\u003eThe Law of Dreams, \u003c\/i\u003ewon the Governor General's Literary Award, Canada's most prestigious book prize, and has been published in nine languages. \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review \u003c\/i\u003ecalled his second novel, \u003ci\u003eThe O'Briens, \u003c\/i\u003e\"a major accomplishment.\" He is the author of two collections of short stories, \u003ci\u003eNight Driving \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTravelling Light. \u003c\/i\u003eHis stories and essays have appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic, The New York Times, \u003c\/i\u003eand many anthologies.
