![]() Her talent for writing is only matched by her capacity for her empathy, and knowledge of 20th century German history. ![]() ![]() Highly recommended.Īnna Funder did a beautiful job with Stasiland. I love the narrator’s accent and performance. The narration on this audiobook is fantastic. There is much sadness for sure, but also courage, humor and above all, hope. The scenes are very well written making it a pleasure to follow even when the stories are sad. Listening to this book is getting immersed into a different world, Stasiland. The result is a collection of stories that have heart and are historically important. ![]() She took the time not only to research the facts, but to get to know the people. She went to work, spending much time in the former GDR and getting to know many people who lived the Stasi years, either as perpetrators or victims. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, Anna Funder knew she had only a short window before much of East Germany’s history would be forgotten, especially the individual stories. This is a well researched and very well written contemporary history book. ![]()
