From the USA Today and internationally bestselling WWII novelist of A Woman of War, The Secret Messenger and The Berlin Girl comes a story set at the dawn of the Cold War in Berlin.
A city divided.
When the Berlin Wall goes up, Karin is on the wrong side of the city. Overnight, she's trapped under Soviet rule in unforgiving East Berlin and separated from her twin sister, Jutta.
Two sisters torn apart.
Karin and Jutta lead parallel lives for years, cut off by the Wall. But Karin finds one reason to keep going: Otto, the man who gives her hope, even amidst the brutal East German regime.
One impossible choice...
When Jutta finds a hidden way through the wall, the twins are reunited. But the Stasi have eyes everywhere, and soon Karin is faced with a terrible decision: to flee to the West and be with her sister, or sacrifice it all to follow her heart?
A timely reminder that, even in darkness, love will always guide you home, this gripping and emotional tale is perfect for fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris and The Last Correspondent by Soraya M. Lane.
