Berlin, 1948; teenage Freya's German-born father brings her to the nerve-centre of growing East-West tension. World War Three seems about to break out. In the devastated city, full of half-starved, traumatised people, Freya is haunted by memories of her dead English mother - killed in Berlin, she's been told, by a speeding car. But why does her father hate to speak about his wife, and why has her grandmother cut all the pictures of Freya's mother out of the family photograph album?
