From their first days Theobald Thomas and Bluma Janek appear destined for each other, and books are where they come together. But Berlin after the war, grieving and split in two, works against the future fate had promised. One summer night in August the footings of history's most famous wall suddenly cut through the city, and the kiss they have been waiting for is put off. Starting from a true story, the novel asks what we would do for love and whether it can climb a wall without someone being hurt.
