Produktbeschreibung

Framed by the life, murder, and sensational trial over an enterprising seamstress, Love at Last Sight tells a history of dating in Berlin, where the romantic technologies and opportunities of the turn-of-the-century city--such as missed connections and newspaper personal ads--offered men and women on the margins the best shot at finding love but exposed them to tremendous risk.
