The Communist's Daughter

More about the book

"Katia has grown up amongst the ruins of the once mighty Berlin, now shatttered by Allied bombs. In their tiny, freezing flat, Katia's father teaches her of the righteousness of the new Soviet republic, who will always keep watch over them. As a young woman, a chance encounter with a man from the west causes Katia to realise there might be more to life on the other side of the wall. But blinded by the first flush of love, she fails to understand that it's not what lies ahead, but what she will leave behind."--Back cover
