This book reminded me of a couple of beloved pieces of Norwegian fiction:
The book "Mannen som elsket Yngve" by Tore Renberg and the story of Isak and Even in the TV-show "Skam". But with an entirely different setting, and with some unexepcted turns in the second half. I'll say no more:)
The personal and the political was elegantly interwoven, and I really got a feel for these liberal Brits living in West Berlin in 1989 and the surrounding historical era.
Very interesting and very enjoyable.
