El Muro de Berlín se construyó para separar.
Dos jóvenes se toman de la mano frente al Muro de Berlín, aún a medio construir. Una se queda en el Este, la otra en el Oeste. Es 23 de agosto de 1961 y el Muro apenas lleva diez días en pie, pero ya separa el barrio de Rosemarie del de Kriemhild, que no saben cuándo volverán a verse.
Pero ningún muro puede dividir una buena amistad. Elena acaba de mudarse de Madrid a Berlín cuando descubre, en el pequeño museo donde trabaja, una fotografía que le llama la atención y la curiosidad la empuja a indagar sobre la verdadera historia de ese instante y sus protagonistas. ¿Qué esconden realmente? ¿Conseguirían reencontrarse? ¿Se trata de la captura de una auténtica despedida?
Basada en la historia real y en la fotografía de las Mauermädchen, esta emocionante novela nos habla de las cicatrices de una ciudad dividida, del dolor que produce el recuerdo y el vacío que deja el olvido, así como de las amistades que nos salvan y sobreviven a la distancia que pretenden imponer los muros.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The Berlin Wall was built to divide.
Two young girls face the half-built Berlin Wall and hold hands. One of them remains in the East and the other in the West. It is August 23, 1961, and the Wall has been in place barely ten days, but it is already dividing Rosemarie’s neighborhood from Kriemhild’s, and they do not know when they will see each other again.
But there isn’t a wall capable of splitting a good friendship. Elena had just moved to Berlin from Madrid when she discovers, at the small museum where she works, a photograph that captures her attention and curiosity, and drives her to investigate the true story behind that moment and their protagonists. What are they really hiding? Were they reunited? Is this a shot of a genuine farewell?
Based on a true story and the Mauermädchen’s photograph, this thrilling novel speaks of the scars of a torn city, of the pain caused by memory, and the void left by oblivion, as well as those friendships that save us and survive the distance imposed by walls.
