Shadows of Berlin by David R. Gillham Book Summary

"Reminding us that history is made up of infinite individual choices, Shadows of Berlin is a masterful story of survival and redemption." — Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman with the Blue Star

A captivating novel of a Berlin girl on the run from the guilt of her past and the boy from Brooklyn who loves her

1955 in New York City: the city of instant coffee, bagels at Katz's Deli, ultra-modern TVs. But in the Perlman's walk-up in Chelsea, the past is as close as the present. Rachel came to Manhattan in a wave of displaced Jews who managed to survive the horrors of war. Her Uncle Fritz fleeing with her, Rachel hoped to find freedom from her pain in New York and in the arms of her new American husband, Aaron.

But this child of Berlin and daughter of an artist cannot seem to outrun her guilt in the role of American housewife, not until she can shed the ghosts of her past. And when Uncle Fritz discovers, in a dreary midtown pawn shop, the most shocking portrait that her mother had ever painted, Rachel's memories begin to terrorize her, forcing her to face the choices she made to stay alive?choices that might be her undoing.

From the cafes of war-torn Germany to the frantic drumbeat of 1950's Manhattan, Shadows of Berlin dramatically explores survival, redemption and the way we learn to love and forgive across impossible divides.

"A tribute to resilience and starting over. This is heart-wrenching and memorable." — Publishers Weekly, STARRED review

Pretty good read. I did not learn anything new historically. I did think the characters were developed nicely.

Thank you Mr. Gillham. I have read many books during this time of the pandemic but nothing comes close to the wonderful writing of Mr. Gillham. His characters are heartbreakingly real. I was a fan from book one but this book is different - maybe it’s the Yiddish or revisiting Brooklyn. I sometimes felt as if I was watching a play. Thank you for the experience and for the hope.
