Rezension zu „Berlin “
"Berlin is: 'Startling and convincing... One of the best novels I've ever read set in this era' John Lawton, author of Black Out. 'Pierre Frei's Berlin is hugely absorbing, entertaining and, at times, moving read and should appeal to fans of Harris, Deighton and Le Carre, amongst others.' Tom Bradby 'An ambitious novel, filled with brilliantly drawn characters, mesmerisingly readable and disturbingly convincing.' Susanna Yager, Sunday Telegraph 'In the end it is Berlin itself, the city and its inhabitants, meticulously observed and depicted, that emerges as the true star of the story, flawed, cruel, seductively engaging and all too human. This is its best evocation since Len Deighton's Winter.' Peter Millar, The Times"
