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 Nina and her German relatives
were kept apart, leaving a family divided for more than four decades by
a bitter political war.Nina takes us deep into the tumultuous and
terrifying world of East Germany under communist rule, revealing both
the harsh reality her relatives endured and her experiences as an
intelligence officer running secret operations behind the Berlin Wall
that put her life at risk. See all Editorial Reviews
