In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell; shortly afterwards, the two Germanies reunited, and East Germany ceased to exist. Anna Funder tells extraordinary tales from the underbelly of the former East Germany.

In a country where the headquarters of the secret police could become a museum literally overnight, and one in 50 East Germans were informing on their fellow citizens, there are thousands of captivating stories. She meets Miriam, who, as a 16-year-old, might have started World War III; she visits the man who painted the line that became the Berlin Wall; and she gets drunk with the legendary "Mik Jegger" of the east, once declared by the authorities to his face to "no longer to exist."

Each enthralling story depicts what it's like to live in Berlin as the city knits itself back together - or fails to. This is a history full of emotion, attitude, and complexity.

Having recently visited Berlin for the first time and spent time at the Topography of Terror and the GDR Museum this book really struck a cord with me. What an appalling regime it was and how sad for those people who survived the Third Reich being thrust into this new hell. There can truly be no caring and merciful god who can allow this to happen.

So interesting

This book is such an interesting, and candid, collection of stories, captured in time so that it’s hard to put down.
The now dissolved GDR provides and excellent backdrop for the collection put together by the author as she navigates through recent German history.

Exposing the watchers.

Love this book, Funder writes so clearly and carries you smoothly through the stories. It is so smooth that you sometimes forget that these are true stories and not carefully crafted fiction.

I bought this book before an upcoming trip to Berlin to get a bit more of a personal look into the history. I enjoyed the book, easy reading and personal accounts.
