THE BERLINERS - EMMA HARDING KARTONIERT (TB)

'Sometimes I get fanciful and think the buildings speak. That all their history is locked into
the walls and if you listened closely enough  you could hear all the people who'd once been
there.' Sigi lived upstairs from Sara at Friedrichstrasse 19 yet before they met  Sara had no
idea that Berlin could be so thrillingly irreverent or that sex could be so intoxicatingly
wonderful. But then came the war  and hunger  loneliness and barbed wire. It was just as a
young girl  a protegee of The Academy of Magical Arts situated in Friedrichstrasse at the start
of the century  had predicted. Battered and divided  Berlin  like its people  endured. Hans
yearns to be part of the boundary-breaking spirit of the age but he's haunted by his mother's
part in the war and the absence of a father. Ilse  who escaped from the East  wants nothing
more than the freedom she risked her life for. In 1989 in a wild act of spontaneous joy  Heike
leapt from the Wall into the arms of a stranger from the West. Thirty years later  she
recognises that what she'd willed to be destiny was nothing more than naivety. Recently
divorced  she moves into Friedrichstrasse  to begin a new life. But it's impossible not to hear
the echoes of the secrets and lies  visions and misunderstandings  lost loves and fatal
mistakes  that have come before her. Time-travelling between decades  through the interlocking
lives of six people  Friedrichstrasse 19 relives the tumultuous experience of a city on the
frontline of history.
