But several years later, when George unexpectedly appears in East Hampton, where Lucie is weekending with her new fiance, Lucie finds herself drawn to George again. Soon, Lucie is spinning a web of deceit that involves her family, her fiance, the co-op board of her Fifth Avenue apartment building, and, ultimately, herself as she tries mightily to deny George entry into her worldand her heart.

65 Jahre in der Schublade - heute ein Bestseller'Der Uberlaufer' ist Siegfried Lenz' zweiter Roman, geschrieben 1951. Obgleich vollendet und vom Autor mehrfach uberarbeitet, blieb er bis 2016 unveroffentlicht. Zur Zeit seiner Entstehung wurde er vom Verlag aus politischen Grunden abgelehnt.
