Enjoyed the Berlin Letters. I thought it was interesting to back when the wall went up overnight and split a family apart.
In 1989 CIA cryptographer Luisa Voekler discovers some of her father’s letters to her grandfather and their secret history. She learns her father is still alive and is not safe.
Alternating with her father’s story, beginning in 1961 before the wall existed. I was born after the wall was built and I found the story before the wall fascinating. I didn’t realize that after the war, people were able to go back and forth between West and East Berlin.
The audiobook was very well done with two narrators.
“… only because I didn’t mind the future they handed us after I met you. The past didn’t hurt so much then. You were brighter than their darkness, but I was a fool.”
Looking forward to discussing with #bookfriendsbookclub. Thank you to libro.fm for providing audiobooks to librarians.
