Comments:

I appreciated the simplicity of this story because it addresses a challenging and dark time in our history in a "high/low" approach. The story picked up quite a bit and I felt compelled to read through to the end in one sitting. I've been to Berlin and the Wall so it was particularly interesting to me to read a book that attempted to flesh out a typical family that had been divided by events out of their control. I would love to see this on the list. Yvette/Merrimack
