Jennifer's Reviews > Forty Autumns: A Family's Story of Courage and Survival on Both Sides of the Berlin Wall

Utterly compelling look at a German family's efforts to survive in the communist days of East Germany. I could not put this one down. Nina tells her family members' stories so well that it reads like fiction...what blows your mind is knowing that it's all true. If you ever thought communism might be a good idea, just read this book. This story is both heartbreaking and hope-making. It was an unforgettable journey.
