Leaving Berlin by Joseph Kanon

5.0

As a student of German literature and someone obsessed with the pre, during, and post WWII era (and not in terms of battles and body counts, but in terms of human story), I was gripped. Great psychological thriller/spy novel taking place in the little-treated time between the war and the wall, mixed with literary references. My only complaint--if you're going to listen to the audio book, be ready to hear some butchered German.
