The girls of the wall
by Jorge Corrales
A mysterious photograph that hides a great story.
A friendship capable of preventing beyond any wall.
The moving first novel by Jorge Corrales, based on real events.
The Berlin Wall was built to separate.
Two young people hold hands in front of the Berlin Wall, still half built. One stays in the East, the other in the West. It is August 23, 1961 and the Wall has only been up for ten days, but it already separates the neighborhood of Rosmarie and Kriemhild, who do not know when they will see each other again.
But this city, like good friendships, survives beyond the walls.
Elena has just moved from Madrid to Berlin when she discovers, in the small museum where she works, a photograph that catches her attention and her curiosity pushes her to investigate the true history of that moment and its protagonists. What are they really hiding? Would they be able to meet again? Is this the capture of a true farewell?
