Loosely based on the life and death of German Green Party leader Petra Kelly, The Martyrs, The Lovers circles the mysteries surrounding the death of Jutta Carroll with her lover Lukas Grimm. Probing Jutta’s origin story, the rise to personal political stardom, and the fall into anxiety and public decline, the novel explores the forces and motivations that drive political passion and activism, and the counterforces, material and psychological, that constantly threaten progress.
