The moving story of a brother and a sister caught in the tide of the Cold War
Käthe is a Jewish sculptor living in East Berlin. A survivor of the Nazi era, she is a fervent socialist who has been using her political connections to secure more significant commissions. Devoted entirely to success, she is a cruel and abrasive mother to her children. Käthe barely acknowledges Ella's vulnerable loneliness and Thomas's quiet aspirations, and her hard-nosed brutality forces her children to build an imaginary world as a shelter from the coldness that surrounds them. But the siblings find themselves enclosed by the Berlin Wall, and unable to pursue their dreams.
Heartbreaking and shocking, Back to Back is a dark fairytale of East Germany - a moving personal story of love, betrayal and disillusionment within a single family that reflects the greater tragedy of the world around them.

Rezension zu „Back to Back “
"Franck is an outstanding talent of the Germany literary landscape" Stuttgarter Zeitung "A virtuoso creator of poetically charged moods... never before has East Germany been so radically depicted as dead at birth as in the arresting, magical narrative web of Julia Franck" Literarische Welt "A novel that, with its hypnotic language, creates its own realm of relevance... You dive back into the real world in shock" Tages Anzeiger
