What an interesting and insightful book!
Told by a woman who experienced the War and it’s aftermath firsthand.
The destruction and ‘rebuilding’ of West Berlin, the mistreatment by the Soviets after the end of the war, the dividing Wall, the struggle for freedom and the determination of the West Berliner’s to remain free at all costs makes for an inspiring story of strength and determination.
I hope to read her second book which covers periods before and after this.
