Reseña del libro "Skating at the Edge of the Wood (en Inglés)"

In 1944, the thirteen-year old author has to flee her home in East Prussia and embark on a horrific trek to the West, avoiding the Red Army's ethnic cleansing. She leaves behind many happy memories, but also a best friend: her cousin Jutta, caught behind the Iron Curtain. The letters they exchange at that time, amplified by postwar comments, cast light on the experience of ordinary German farmers caught up in the horrendous circumstances and aftermath of the Second World War's Eastern Front. Fifty years later, the advent of perestroika allows Marlene and Jutta to meet again, after a lifetime of growing up under diametrically opposed societies, and Marlene revisits her childhood home. The book closes with a final chapter revealing what she finds. Despite depicting the same time and circumstances as "Reflections in an Oval Mirror", an account written by Marlene's elder sister, this work stands in stark contrast partly owing to the age gap between the two girls, but above all because of their dramatically different characters.
