Overview

Thomas and Ella grow up under the roof of their overpowering mother, a sculptress and a fervent believer in the socialist ideology of East Germany. She barely acknowledges Ella's vulnerable loneliness and Thomas's quiet aspirations. They create an imaginary world as a shelter from the coldness that surrounds them. Their uncle has gone to America, but the siblings find themselves enclosed when the Berlin Wall is built. Thomas and Ella must find their own paths within their mother's utopia. Back to Back is a magnificent novel about a great love, from Julia Franck, prizewinning author of The Blind Side of the Heart.
