'Sometimes I get fanciful and think the buildings speak. That all their
history is locked into the walls and if you listened closely enough, you could
hear all the people who'd once been there.'
Sigi lived upstairs from Sara at Friedrichstrasse 19 yet before they met, Sara
had no idea that Berlin could be so thrillingly irreverent or that sex could
be so intoxicatingly wonderful. But then came the war, and hunger, loneliness
and barbed wire. It was just as a young girl, a protegee of The Academy of
Magical Arts situated in Friedrichstrasse at the start of the century, had
predicted.
Battered and divided, Berlin, like its people, endured. Hans yearns to be part
of the boundary-breaking spirit of the age but he's haunted by his mother's
part in the war and the absence of a father. Ilse, who escaped from the East,
wants nothing more than the freedom she risked her life for.
In 1989 in a wild act of spontaneous joy, Heike leapt from the Wall into the
arms of a stranger from the West. Thirty years later, she recognises that what
she'd willed to be destiny was nothing more than naivety. Recently divorced,
she moves into Friedrichstrasse, to begin a new life. But it's impossible not
to hear the echoes of the secrets and lies, visions and misunderstandings,
lost loves and fatal mistakes, that have come before her.
Time-travelling between decades, through the interlocking lives of six people,
Friedrichstrasse 19 relives the tumultuous experience of a city on the
frontline of history.
