Die Birken: The Birches (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Die Birken tells the story of an apartment building of that name (The Birches) and the East Berliners living there between the 1930s and 1960s, some of whom survived World War II only to fall subject to the Russians and another ideologycommunism. Their new challenge is to maintain their well-being, their personal integrity, their sense of humor, and their humanity, all while avoiding the pitfalls of a divided city and Stasi surveillance. In the aftermath of war, new relationships are created, families are reconfigured, and what were formerly ordinary trees, like birches, become cherished.

Autorenporträt

Pamelia Barratt has lived on both the east and west coasts of the United States. She grew up in Chicago, summered in Wisconsin, lived for extended periods of time in Switzerland and Britain, and volunteered for ten years with a development nonprofit that works in the high Andes of Bolivia. After a career as a high school chemistry teacher, she became a journalist in San Diego, and then discovered the thrill of writing fiction. Her first novel, "Blood: the Color of Cranberries", was published in 2009. It was followed by "An Ostentation" two years later. "Gray Dominion" is her third mystery.

"My hodgepodge background has offered a great source of characters and situations to draw on for storytelling. Birds and nature continually renew my spirits," Pamelia says. It's no wonder that creatures of the wild assume important roles in her stories.
