Thomas and Ella grow up under the roof of their overpowering mother, a sculptress and a fervent believer in the socialist ideology of East Germany. She barely acknowledges Ella's vulnerable loneliness and Thomas's quiet aspirations. They create an imaginary world as a shelter from the coldness that surrounds them.
Their uncle has gone to America, but the siblings find themselves enclosed when the Berlin Wall is built. Thomas and Ella must find their own paths within their mother's utopia.
Back to Back is a magnificent novel about a great love, from Julia Franck, prizewinning author of The Blind Side of the Heart.
"Franck is an outstanding talent of the Germany literary landscape." (Stuttgarter Zeitung)
"A virtuoso creator of poetically charged moods. . . never before has East Germany been so radically depicted as dead at birth as in the arresting, magical narrative web of Julia Franck." (Literarische Welt)
"A novel that, with its hypnotic language, creates its own realm of relevance, a realm which the reader is drawn into, is then paralyzed and devoured. You dive back into the real world in shock." (Tages Anzeiger)
