Historia
Vienna, 1954 After losing everyone she loves in the final days of World War II, Ingrid Bauer agrees to a hasty marriage with a gentle Soviet embassy worker and follows him home to Moscow. But nothing within the Soviet Union’s totalitarian regime is what it seems, including her new husband, whom Ingrid suspects works for the KGB. Inspired by her daughter’s birth, Ingrid risks everything and reaches out in hope to the one country she understands and trusts—Britain, the country of her mother’s birth. She begins passing intelligence to MI6, navigating a world of secrets and lies, light and shadow.

Historia
A tenant farmer’s son had no business daring to dream of a future with an earl’s daughter, but that couldn’t keep Amos Darby from his secret friendship with Charlotte Terrington…until the reality of the Great War sobered youthful dreams. Now decades later, he bears the brutal scars of battles fought in the trenches and their futures that were stolen away. His return home doesn’t come with tender reunions, but with the hollow fulfillment of opening a bookshop on his own and retreating as a recluse within its walls.

Winston Churchill called it Britain’s finest hour. The Royal Navy evacuated 330,000 soldiers from Dunkirk. But more than 200,000 were left behind. On the beaches, Jeremy Littlefield hides for his life. His path home will draw him through the iron will and the unbreakable heart of the French Resistance. Only a few miles away, his brother, Lance, rallies fellow soldiers to start a trek that will take them across Europe, sabotaging the Germans in a mission tantamount to suicide.

The war is over, and Germany in ruins. Posted to an Allied-run Hamburg, reporter Georgie Young returns to the country she fled seven years prior – at the onset of the conflict – to find it unrecognisable. Amidst the stark horrors of a bombed-out city crumbling under the weight of millions of displaced souls, she discovers pockets of warmth: a violinist playing amidst the wreckage, couples dancing in the streets, and a nation trying to make amends.

Resumen del Editor
Bestselling author Katherine Reay returns with an unforgettable tale of the Cold War and a CIA code breaker who risks everything to free her father from an East German prison.
From the time she was a young girl, Luisa Voekler has loved solving puzzles and cracking codes. Brilliant and logical, she’s expected to quickly climb the career ladder at the CIA. But while her coworkers have moved on to thrilling Cold War assignments—especially in the exhilarating era of the late 1980s—Luisa’s work remains stuck in the past decoding messages from World War II.
Journalist Haris Voekler grew up a proud East Berliner. But as his eyes open to the realities of postwar East Germany, he realizes that the Soviet promises of a better future are not coming to fruition. After the Berlin Wall goes up, Haris finds himself separated from his young daughter and all alone after his wife dies. There’s only one way to reach his family—by sending coded letters to his father-in-law who lives on the other side of the Iron Curtain.
When Luisa Voekler discovers a secret cache of letters written by the father she has long presumed dead, she learns the truth about her grandfather’s work, her father’s identity, and why she has never progressed in her career. With little more than a rudimentary plan and hope, she journeys to Berlin and risks everything to free her father and get him out of East Berlin alive.
As Luisa and Haris take turns telling their stories, events speed toward one of the twentieth century’s most dramatic moments—the fall of the Berlin Wall and that night’s promise of freedom, truth, and reconciliation for those who lived, for twenty-eight years, behind the bleak shadow of the Iron Curtain’s most iconic symbol.
- A Cold War novel that takes listeners to the heart of Berlin to witness both the early and final days of the Berlin Wall
- Stand-alone novel
- Book length: approximately 107,000 words
- Includes discussion questions for book clubs
Reseñas de la Crítica
"Both deeply moving and edge-of-your-seat suspenseful, The Berlin Letters is an eloquent reminder of the brutal totalitarianism of Soviet Communism and the unsung heroes who fought to tear down the Iron Curtain and free Eastern Europe". --Beatriz Williams, New York Times bestselling author of The Summer Wives

Historia
It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

There is only one catch: Sam must write frequent letters to the mysterious donor, detailing her progress.

When Daphne arrives in Berlin, the last thing she expects is to run into more drama than she left behind. Of course, she knew she'd need to do the usual: make friends, acquire lovers, grapple with German and a whole new way of life. She even expected the long nights gorging alone on family-sized jars of Nutella, and the pitfalls of online dating in another language. The paranoia, the second-guessing of her every choice, the covert behaviors? Probably come with the territory. But one night, when Daphne is alone in her apartment, something strange, unnerving and entirely unexpected intervenes.

Excellent book for listening!
This book takes place during of a piece of history which is too easily forgotten- The Cold War and the division between Western Democratic Europe and in Soviet controlled Eastern Europe. Through the very human characters we are put in touch with with the gnarly postwar divided Berlin situation which is endured for many years by many brave people. The compelling characters are made so because of the great readers with excellent acting skills. . It is not a book with the same narrator throughout. Each character has their own voice and as a listener you look forward to each character's account. It is like listening to a live play. Very thought-provoking and enjoyable.

The immense fear and suffering
I really enjoyed this audiobook. It gave us a glimpse of the betrayal, sorrow and fear brought on by the separation of families and abuses, experienced by those living under an oppressive regime. After witnessing the fall of the Berlin wall over the news many years ago, I enjoyed the perspective from those living trapped by it. I really enjoyed the narrations using different voices and accents. It made it seem more real and easy to follow.

A Fresh Peek
Loved this audiobook! Especially the back and forth detail, the West/ East view, the idea that one should t have to leave home in order to live free. Really resonates right now. I was in Europe the summer the wall came down, and so this brought back so many memories and feelings. But we are still learning what it was like to live in East Berlin, and even the views of West Berlin are eye-opening. I really loved the father-daughter aspect as well, including a father who faces the fact that he was wrong but also was willing to give all for change. I wouldn’t have thought that an epistolary novel would have felt so tense, well done to the author for keeping that feeling so prescient, leaping off the pages. The narrators were good/ had their work cut out for them with these accents.

Great historical story
I enjoyed this book and the audio version of the Cold War. It’s a place in history I’ve not had much knowledge about. Katherine Raey is one of my favorites and so I knew I wanted to read it but the audio was a great resource to go along with the ebook.

Don't be fooled
I was suckered into purchasing this book for the wonderful Saskia Maarleveld, who unfortunately actually only narrates a cameo of one short chapter at the beginning of the book. I found the other narrators to be rather off-putting: the male narrator read with a farcical, breathy and depressed German accent for the entire book and the female narrator playing Luisa read in a whiny tone making the character rather unbelievable as a CIA agent. If you could sample each narrators' voice you would think twice about buying this. The story, too, was hackneyed and felt like it had been done so much better so many more times by other authors. I disliked the way the author often repeated events from two different characters' perspectives, which in truth showed little difference other than that they were read by a different narrator. All in all the tale was exceptionally unconvincing and I returned it.

I was excited about this book— Berlin, the Cold War, a secretly alive father. It seemed to have everything. But the narration is horrible, the pacing so slow I tried to listen at 1.25 speed to stay engaged, and the dialogue so stilted I thought it might be a language learning course:( I gave up. Returning this one.
