“… there\u2019s value in applying individual expertise to guide readers beyond the (many fabulous) bestsellers, celebrity book club picks, and award winners they already know. In that spirit, here is a spotlight on six surprisingly original, beautifully written, emotionally devastating books that appear on the list and deserve to be much better known.” Laura Simeon \u2022 April 1, 2025, Kirkus Reviews<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

“Linke, who grew up in East Germany, plunges readers into an unforgettable nail-biter as teen refugees try to swim through the freezing Baltic Sea to the West. Vivid flashbacks show the traumas of life in a corrupt, stratified country that spur them to risk all.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the Blue Border<\/em> by Dorit Linke, translated by Elisabeth Lauffer, Charlesbridge Publishing 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n
