Dual timeline novel set in US & Germany during the Cold War & later when a family is suddenly separated when the Berlin Wall goes up. A CIA codebreaker finds a cache of letters & hunts down her previously assumed dead father. Riveting. #October #12booksof2024
pickReally liked this book about a woman trying to get her long lost father out of jail in East Berlin. The last 50 pages were really gripping as she travels right into the heart of the Stasi before the wall came down. So interesting to read about the part that punk rock bands played during that time.

Indulging myself at the hair salon today. I adore getting my hair massaged during a shampoo! Starting this book.
pickAbsolutely couldn‘t put it down. I admit have a personal attachment to the setting, having been an exchange student in West Berlin before the wall came down.
Interesting combo! My June #bookspin is a historical fiction carry-over from last month; #doublespin is a middle grade horror story!
