Sobre este áudio
Berlin. Wartime. A city of secrets - secrets that destroyed Paul Bertram's once-idyllic marriage. When the Berlin Wall falls in 1989, Paul is finally compelled to confront his past. Seeking one last chance at redemption, Paul turns to his former wife, Eve, and together they embark on a journey during which he is able, at last, to reveal the awful truths he has lived with for so long.
Award-winning narrator Carrington MacDufflie reads Roberta Silman's spare, compassionate portrayal of the growing tension and terror in Berlin leading up to and during the Second World War. The result is an utterly compelling listen that not explores the many twists and turns of fate; but also shows how the atrocities of the Second World War can reverberate far into the future, long after actual events.
Past and present coalesce in this powerful novel in mysterious ways. Despite the shocking denouement, both Eve and Paul realize that one of the most important aspects of being human is our ability to forgive. Beautifully read by Carrington MacDuffie.

"This moving, intricate family saga delves into horrific childhood trauma and how it reverberates for years." (Publishers Weekly)
"Silman’s engaging and deeply felt novel is a reminder of what it means to carry a historical burden on both a personal and national level - an old lesson we urgently need to learn all over again." (ArtsFuse)
"Carrington MacDuffie's performance is compelling in this novel focusing on the secrets we keep and the shadows that haunt us. A childhood lost to the Holocaust has tormented Paul for most of his adult life. Eventually, it leads to his divorce from Eve after years of serial philandering. With the fall of the Berlin Wall, however, Paul feels the need to return to Germany. He asks Eve to accompany him on this journey into the truth of his past, which she does, however reluctantly. MacDuffie is perfect for this thoughtful exploration of the lasting effects of trauma. She makes Paul's survivor's guilt understandable, and she's spot-on at delivering Eve's compassionate acceptance of Paul's angst. MacDuffie is exactly the right narrator for this touching, troubling tale." (S.J.H. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine, published: December 2021)
