'[I was] completely transported . . . so sparely and yet vividly
told. I admired it immensely' Clare Chambers 'Aroa Moreno Duran
writes with a rare sensitivity about the unconsidered consequences
of giving everything up for love' Claire Fuller Winner of the
Premio Ojo Critico Katia has grown up amongst the ruins of the once
mighty Berlin, now shattered 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 blush of love, she fails to
understand that it's not what lies ahead, but what she will leave
behind. Translated from its original Spanish, The Communist's
Daughter is a spare and exquisite novel that depicts twentieth
century Europe through one family's tragic story. 'Beautifully
written, powerfully realised. A novel that touches the heart' Kate
Hamer
