‘Both Sides Now’ is a riveting Cold War thriller that explores issues of personal agency, trust and ambition as it builds relentlessly to its nail-biting climax.
East Berlin, 1975. Ulla Wolfram’s family apply to visit an ailing relative in the West. The authorities reject the request, block Ulla’s university career and force her into a dead-end job. Angry and unwilling to accept her fate, she wrangles with ideas of escape. Across the Wall, an ambitious British student is looking to conduct unprecedented academic research on the eastern side of the divided city. When Jack Gilmore’s plans come to the attention of the ever-watchful Stasi, Ulla soon discovers that her troubles have only just begun.
Peter Morris grew up in Liverpool and was for a time resident in West Berlin before settling in Southwest England. Having written several successful books in the educational field and a number of short stories for broadcast in German, he now devotes his energies to fiction. ‘Both Sides Now’ is his second novel. He is also the author of ‘No Repeat of Yesterday’, a thriller set some fifty years in the future.
