Amidst the horrors of Auschwitz, German officer, Angelus Thomsen, has found love. As Thomsen and Doll's wife pursue their passion - the gears of Nazi Germany's Final Solution grinding around them - Doll is riven by suspicion.

Newly arrived in the ZONE OF INTEREST - the outer perimeter of the camp at Auschwitz - Golo Thomsen, an official with important connections in Berlin, promptly falls in love with the wife of the camp commandant. We know that horror and cruelty are possible in such a setting. But what about love, comedy and heroism? Masterful, unsettling and infinitely sad, this is a holocaust novel like no other.
