Ewald Arenz

Ewald Arenz is a German novelist and teacher whose fiction has won critical acclaim and popular success in Germany and increasingly internationally. His novel Love, After All is a sensitive, beautifully crafted story that explores the possibility of love and connection later in life, challenging the assumption that romance and emotional renewal belong only to the young. Arenz's writing is characterised by its warmth, its quiet precision and its ability to find profound meaning in the everyday interactions between people. His previous novel Old Land, New Water was a bestseller in Germany and won multiple literary prizes. Arenz teaches at a secondary school in Nuremberg, and his understanding of human behaviour and relationships is evident in the emotional authenticity of his characters. His fiction belongs to a tradition of German literary writing that values restraint, observation and the careful rendering of emotional truth. The translation of his work into English has introduced international audiences to a distinctive and accomplished German literary voice. The audiobook edition brings his gentle, emotionally rich fiction to listeners who appreciate literary novels about love, human connection and the possibility of renewal at any age.
