Michael Califra

No Man's Land by Michael Califra was a novel about the effects of the Berlin Wall while standing and also after the fall. This book was very confusing to me. I'm unable to ascertain if this was just purely a novel or a piece of historical fiction. If it was a novel, it will suffice. If it was a piece of historical fiction, it's pretty much trash. The world between East Berlin and West Berlin was not portrayed as I've always read or imagined it. The main characters travel back and forth almost on a daily basis for work between the two with nothing more than official papers. That's not nearly as brutal as everything I've previously read. There are no reviews on either LT or Goodreads so I really don't know how to interpret this book! Anyway, the emphasis was not so much on any political drama, but the effect that the wall had on relationships, specifically love relationships of the main character. Meh 333 pages I got this as a Kindle free read of the month in 2015.… (más)
