This is a true story, told mainly through actual letters written long ago. Bill, a 20-year-old American math graduate student, goes to Zurich, Switzerland in 1936 to pursue his studies. On his first day in class he meets Heidi, a Swiss girl seeking a diploma in math. Soon thereafter a student-run ball, on a grand scale, brings them together till 5 a.m. one night. They discover how deeply they share a devotion to music, art and literature and find themselves bound together in love, love of an intensity which remains unshakable through two years of frequent painful separation, in one case for 11 months, and of bitter opposition by Heidi's family. Their letters reveal their passionate attachment to each other as well as their penetrating thoughts on mathematics, music, art and other subjects. They are finally joined in marriage and sail away to America. The 400-page book is illustrated with many photographs and drawings.
