The Girl Behind the Wall by Mandy Robotham

Did not finish book.

On the day the Berlin Wall goes up identical sisters Jutta and Karin are stuck on opposite sides. I know this happened to many families so it was believable. I was really enjoying the book and then it happened. Jutta finds a way through the wall and arrives at her sister's last known location, a hospital. She asks about Karinand no one seems to notice she looks exactly like her. They get together and Karin takes her to a Cafe where she is obviously a regular and, again, no one notices they are identical. By the time this happens the wall has been up for over a year and this is a communist world where people notice everything so, donnez moi a break. I understand Jutta makes numerous trip back and forth but no one ever gets suspicious because, you know, her clothes didn't look western or anything. I had to DNF.
