A fast-paced debut novel that captivates you until the very last page at the Greifswald Spring Festival of Literature

When sociologist Hedwig meets the much younger Avi, she is irritated by his charming carefree attitude. Adventures are not part of her well-organised everyday life as a professor and mother. But what good is that if someone is so stubborn ... Avi, a successful DJ and producer in the Berlin music scene, persuades her to spend an evening with him in his favourite club, where she can't stand it for long: too loud, too crowded, all the drugged-up people. And yet suddenly everything seems possible, and so the next day the two of them find themselves in a car together, heading north to the sea.
"I'll tell you tomorrow" is a gripping and tender story about letting go and love and about identities between East and West. Clever and full of nuances, Mareike Klee interweaves fast-paced dialogue, raw sentence fragments and incisive observations to create a snapshot of our society. A novel like a good cinema film - fast-paced and emotional, with lightness, humour and depth.

Mareike Klee, born in 1980, wanted to be a writer as a child, but then studied history, French and classical archaeology. As an ancient historian, she now works full-time on researching Greek and Roman antiquity and tries to inspire students to do the same. Mareike Klee has three sons and lives with her family in Western Pomerania. "I'll tell you tomorrow" is her first novel. It is published under a pseudonym to distinguish it from her academic work.
