A Englishman goes to Cold War Leipzig for a weekend with a group of student actors and, during his brief visit beyond the Iron Curtain, falls for an East German girl who is just beginning to be aware of the horrendous way her country is governed. Her misery touches him, her love excites him, but he's too frightened to help. He spends 19 years suppressing the effectiveness of his feelings for the lady he knew only by her nickname "Snowleg" - until 1 day, with Germany right now united, he decides to go back and look for her. But who is she now, how will his having once abandoned her have influenced her life, and exactly how will he find her? Snowleg is the storyplot greater than one sundered love, of both broken dreams and damaged families. The central figure of the novel, which matures as an Englishman, chooses to live in Berlin. He is a senior doctor; but his life is a startling combination of romantic, of erratic, of dissolute behaviour. For long years he nurses the trick of Snowleg and his longing for a love he previously the chance to grasp but failed to take.
