The Berlin apartment
Turnbull, Bryn2024
Book
Berlin, 1961: When Uli Neumann proposes to Lise Bauer, she has every reason to accept. He offers her love, respect and a life beyond the strict bounds of the East German society in which she was raised - which she longs to leave more than anything. But only two short days after their engagement, Lise and Uli are torn violently apart when barbed wire is rolled across Berlin, splitting the city into two hostile halves: capitalist West Berlin, an island of western influence isolated far beyond the iron curtain, and the socialist East, a country determined to control its citizens by any means necessary. Soon, Uli and his friends in West Berlin hatch a plan to get Lise and her unborn child out of East Germany, but as distance and suspicion bleed into their lives and as weeks turn to months, how long can true love survive in the divided city?
