Welcome to #ThrowBackThursday where I highlight an older review or post a current review of a backlist title. Today I’m sharing a compelling story of the Berlin Wall, The Berlin Apartment by Bryn Turnbull.

I’m linking up with Davida @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog for #ThrowbackThursday.

Summary of The Berlin Apartment:

Uli Neumann and Lise Bauer are students when they fall in love. Lise commutes to the west side of Berlin from the east side to attend medical school and to see Uli who lives on the west side. Two days after their engagement, barbed wire is rolled across Berlin and the lovers are separated. As the Berlin Wall is erected, the prospect of escape is nearly impossible and only accomplished at the highest risk. Uli is desperate to get his fiancรฉ (and their unborn child) out of East Berlin and, with the help of friends, begins to build a tunnel and plan a daring rescue.

Lives disrupted…
