A summer holiday exposes the darkness behind appearances

Dr Marc Schlosser is facing questions about a medical error following the death of a famous patient, actor Ralph Meier. As he plans his defense, his account returns to the previous summer, when the two families spent time together at a Mediterranean holiday house. What seemed an indulgent break becomes increasingly uneasy as attractions, resentments, and disturbing events alter the relationships around the swimming pool. Herman Koch places readers inside a doctor’s self-justifying perspective, making ordinary professional and domestic appearances difficult to trust. Summer House with Swimming Pool is a dark psychological novel about responsibility, privilege, and the dangerous space between the story someone tells and the motives behind it.
