Distant Signs is an intimate portrait of two families spanning
three generations amidst turbulent political change, behind and
beyond the Berlin Wall. In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a
professor's daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a
small village in the Thuringian forest. The couple struggle to
contend with their different backgrounds, and the emotional scars
they bear from childhood in the aftermath of war. As East German
history gradually unravels, with collision of the personal and
political, their two families' hidden truths are quietly revealed.
An exquisitely written novel with strongly etched characters that
stay with you long after the book is finished and an authentic
portrayal of family life behind the iron curtain based on personal
experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at
the fall of the Berlin Wall.
