It is the summer of 1967 and the Bishop family are departing their UK home for a continental road trip. Their destination: Berlin, a gritty city recovering from the bombs of 1939 - 45 and now sliced in two by the Cold War. Will the journey unite the Anglo-German family, or forever rip them apart? Grandma Nell loathes foreigners, especially German daughter-in-law Bridget. She's none too pleased about son Roy jamming the whole family into an ageing Morris Traveller car for the duration. Granddaughter Jacqueline observes the trip-and the resultant spillage of family secrets-with a keen eye and a notepad in which to pen it all. This is a story of ordinary people in an extraordinary situation, and the discovery of how something divided can be more revealing than a perfect whole. It is a quest for a family who build walls in their minds as they try to discover who they are and where they belong.
