　　A fascinating piece of li***ry detective work about

star-crossed lovers in Nazi Germany.

Rudolf Kaufmann, a young Jewish geologist, met Ingeb***

Magnusson, a young Swedish woman gifted in languages, in Italy in

1935, and the two quickly fell in love. They spent just a few days

together before they had to part. He traveled once to see her in

Stockholm; she went once to Germany. After that they had to make do

with an exchange of letters—ordinary, sad, and dramatic at the same

time—telling the story of a love that blossomed under traumatic

circumstances. Paper Kisses covers the period from 1935 to 1941,

when Rudolf, having fled Nazi Germany for the apparent safety of

Lithuania, was to disappear from view.

Sixty years later, at a stamp auction, author Reinhard Kaiser

bought a packet of envelopes that still held their original

handwritten contents. The tale he discovered on the pages of

Rudolf's letters to his beloved "Ingelein" immediately captivated

Kaiser. How did such precious personal correspondence end up on the

auctioneer's table? What became of Ingeb***'s letters to Rudolf?

Did either of the star-crossed lovers survive the war? Kaiser

tracked down p***ographs, documentary records, and finally living

members of the couple's families to fill in the gaps of their

story.

In Paper Kisses, Kaiser allows the letters to speak for

themselves, while providing enough historic context to reveal how

remarkable the couple's loyalty, optimism, and resourcefulness were

against the backdrop of the harrowing events of World War II.

Kaiser's own fascinating li***ry detective work frames the

narrative, as he makes one unexpected find after another. Paper

Kisses is both a story of a poignant love affair and a chronicle of

a thrilling investigation.
