I also highly recommend both Fallada's novel, and the 2016 movie that was made of it (with Emma Thompson and Brendan Gleeson)!

My introduction to walls started with 2 books by Tim Marshall. 'Divided: why we're living in an age of walls' discusses money, race, religion, politics etc. But it was ''Prisoners of geography' on global politics that made a deep impression on me. He explains in layman's terms how a nation's mountains, rivers, seas and concrete are the driving force behind polital strategies. His books are very accessible, he is skilled in explaining things (no fancy big words), thank god for Tim Marshall.

And now back to this writer, Karin, what a great read, I hope we get to discuss walls too!

What a great addition to the wall discussion and it sounds like a writer I should explore regardless. Thanks, Rose.
