bookmonkey Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 My supervisor at work recommended this book last night, but he couldn't remember the title. It's about a woman who is in a coma in East Germany during communism. She wakes up from the coma after reunification. But her kids are worried if they tell her she'll get a shock and go back into a coma again. So they pretend everything is still like it was before reunification. Thanks.

chaliepud Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hmmmm, I saw this yesterday but can't remember where now... Will have a think, I liked the sound of it but didn't add it to my wish list as the reviews weren't great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Begins Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Ya, I've heard of it too, but all info escapes me now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I've had a good search and looked at my history for yesterday and can't find it anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Budgie Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 That sounds like Good Bye, Lenin by Wolfgang Becker. It was also made into a film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 I saw that when I googled today but didn't think that was it, possibly it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onion Budgie Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Yes, I was a little doubtful because the book seems to be available primarily in the German language. The plot as outlined by bookmonkey is identical, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bookmonkey Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 I haven't had a chance to look at my library Onion Budgie, or to ask my workmate. I'm going to the library tomorrow I hope so I'll have a look then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sky29 Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Onion, don't look any further, you are right, it's Good bye Lenin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
