In 1960s East Germany, Margret, a professor's daughter from the city, meets and marries Hans, from a small village in Thuringia. 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 based on personal experience of the author who is East German and was 16 years old at the fall of the Berlin Wall. Why do families repeat destructive patterns of behaviour across generations? Should the personal take precedence over the political? Can we rise above our histories and political identities to forge a new understanding of the past and to welcome change? 500 $a Originally published as Fremde Zeichen by Osburg Verlag GmbH, Hamburg 2013. 648 7 $a 1961-1989 $2 fast 650 0 $a Newlyweds $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Interpersonal relations $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Berlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989 $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Berlin Wall, Berlin, Germany, 1961-1989 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01709753 650 7 $a Families. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 $a Interpersonal relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977397 650 7 $a Newlyweds. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01742953 651 0 $a Germany (East) $v Fiction. 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 $a Germany (East) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210274 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726536 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Political fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726702 655 7 $a Political fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Bildungsromans. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Irving, Douglas, $e translator. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015934.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=15C252A8177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
