Of course everything wasn't rosie and the author doesn't shy away from such subjects as the Stasi and why the Berlin Wall was there in the first place. With a rich mixture of characters and a timeline the reader feels fully involved in the evolution of East Germany from the politics that even Stalin thought went a bit too far ,to the lives of ordinary folks or should that be Volk, that carried on and lived their lives and mostly their lives weren't awful infact far from it ,high female employment and excellent child care facilities are two examples.

It’s great strength is it’s balance. Sometimes a lot more. People lived their lives and, in some areas such as child care and women’s rights, it was more progressive than the West. The brilliant Katja Hoyer, reminds us that history is very rarely the story of good versus evil - as much as we wish it was that simplistic.
