Description
“An excellent and intriguing account of the impact of the Cold War on families and their lives
on either side of the Berlin Wall.― (Library Journal (starred review))“Willnerâ€s epic
memoir traverses three generations of mothers, recounting the tragedy, estrangement, and
overwhelming courage of a family torn apart…. Her interrogative and unabashed voice explores
the painful intersection of national duty and familial responsibilities…. A thrilling and relevant read
for historians and casual readers alike.― (Publishers Weekly)Thoughtful and informative,
Willnerâ€s book not only offers a personal view of the traumatic effects of German partition. It
also celebrates the enduring resilience of the human spirit. A poignant and engrossing,
occasionally harrowing, family memoir.― (Kirkus Reviews)[A] moving account of one familyâ€s
life under tyranny… Willnerâ€s sensitive and well-written account causes us to reflect on what
is really important to us and how we would react in a similar situation.― (BookPage)“This
book is kind, honest, incredibly well-written, and important, a testament to humanity and
courage.― (LitHub)“[A] meticulous and compassionate family memoir… Charting the twists
and turns of politics in communist East Germany over more than four decades, it shows how
currents of repression and reform affected individual lives.― (Chicago Tribune)“Forty Autumns
is both an informative and timely read. In this increasingly tumultuous modern era when borders,
both theoretical and physical, have once again become the front lines of critical issues such as
immigration reform, pervasive prejudice and terrorism, stories like Willnerâ€s are especially
important.― (BookReporter)“Even if you well know the story of the East German sequester,
you will be drawn to [Willnerâ€s] family story of living through the worst of times.― (Manhattan
Book Review)“A poignant parable of hope and, at times, a harrowing ghost story.― (Christian
Science Monitor) Growing up in a provincial village outside of Berlin, Hanna was encouraged by
her schoolteacher father to follow her dreams. But at the end of World War II, the Soviets took
control of the eastern part of Germany and established a repressive communist state—East
Germany—which used brutal force and a massive wall to cut off East from West.Determined to
live free, Hanna made a dangerous escape to West Germany. But the price of freedom—leaving
behind her parents, her eight siblings, and her home—was heartbreaking. Uprooted, Hanna
eventually moved to America, where she settled down with her husband, a U.S. Army officer, and
had children of her own, but she never forgot her parents and siblings trapped on the other side of
the Berlin Wall.Growing up near Washington, D.C., Hannaâ€s daughter, Nina Willner, became
the first female U.S. Army intelligence officer to lead sensitive intelligence collection operations in

East Berlin at the height of the Cold War. Though separated by only a few miles, American
