Summary
Escaping is dangerous...so is staying.
East Germany. 1972. An accomplished violinist and her husband attempt to cross the heavily fortified inner German border to escape the claws of the oppressive East German regime, leaving everything, even their families, behind. But their escape doesn’t go as planned. She must choose—her husband and the innate human need for freedom, or motherhood, family, and friends.
Years pass, and hope dissolves under the constant scrutiny of the East German Secret Police. Coerced to become an informant to the dreaded Stasi, she is forced to play a dangerous game of cat and mouse to reunite her family. But who is watching who?
When in 1989 the Berlin Wall falls, she finally has to decide where and with whom she truly belongs.
No Man’s Land is a historical fiction novel set during the Cold War behind the Iron Curtain in communist East Germany. It is one woman and her family's harrowing and captivating tale of survival and defiance.
The vivid description of the setting, palpable suspense, and zeitgeist of the story make No Man’s Land a cinematic listening experience. It describes a reality that still rings true for many people in other parts of the world.

No Mans Land.
The story of survival in a very difficult time. We start with a very much in love man and wife running across No mans land trying to escape communist rule in East Germany. The husband manages to climb the fence and fall in to the West, the wife fails in her attempt and the couple are seperated by not only a fence but the political Berlin Wall. The wife has to learn to cope on her own along with the husbands children and amongst all the hardships find motives to carry on. Will she ever be re united with her husband? ... The narration was excellent from Maria Johnson and breathed life in to each character. Highly recommended.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.
