The basic plot from Amazon: From NYT bestselling author Jennifer A. Nielsen comes a stunning thriller about a girl who must escape to freedom after the Berlin Wall divides her family between east and west.With the rise of the Berlin Wall, twelve-year-old Gerta finds her family suddenly divided. She, her mother, and her brother Fritz live on the eastern side, controlled by the Soviets. Her father and middle brother, who had gone west in search of work, cannot return home. Gerta knows it is dangerous to watch the wall, to think forbidden thoughts of freedom, yet she can't help herself. She sees the East German soldiers with their guns trained on their own citizens; she, her family, her neighbors and friends are prisoners in their own city.But one day, while on her way to school, Gerta spots her father on a viewing platform on the western side, pantomiming a peculiar dance. Then, when she receives a mysterious drawing, Gerta puts two and two together and concludes that her father wants Gerta and Fritz to tunnel beneath the wall, out of East Berlin. However, if they are caught, the consequences will be deadly. No one can be trusted. Will Gerta and her family find their way to freedom?Why I liked it: A Night Divided is historical fiction set in Berlin, Germany just as the Berlin Wall is built in 1961. As a teenager, I visited the city and saw some of the few remaining pieces of the wall, but I had not remembered that it was built so long after World War Two ended. Seeing that date at the start of the book was startling as well as the reminder that it has been less than 30 years since the wall was torn down. It seems like something out of a dystopian novel that a wall dividing a city could go up almost overnight.The parallels to dystopian literature don't end there. d2c66b5586
