Sinopsis

The first, a small half-sheet, inclosed in a large thick envelope, and addressed in a childish, unformed hand to Mr. James Everard Forrest, Junior, Ellicottville, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, with a request in the lower left-hand corner for the postmaster to forward immediately; the second, a dainty little perfumed missive, with a fanciful monogram, directed in a plain round hand to J. Everard Forrest, Esq., Ellicottville, Mass., with the words “in haste” written in the corner. Both letters were in a hurry, and both found their way together to a brown-haired, brown-eyed, brown-faced young man, who sat under the shadow of the big maple tree on the Common in Ellicottville, lazily puffing his cigar and fanning himself with his Panama hat, for the thermometer was ninety in the shade, and the hour 10 A. M. of a sultry July day. At first it was almost too much exertion to break the seals, and for a moment J. Everard Forrest, Jr., toyed with the smaller envelope of the two, and studied the handwriting.

    Berlin Atomized begins in Buenos Aires of the early 2000s with the self-baptisms of Nina Goldstein. She bathes too frequently, washing with fervor and repeating: "I am not asleep." She grows up partying and taking undeserved siestas, while her eldest brother Jeremías is drawn into the city's powder keg music scene, and the middle sibling, Mateo, learns of his terminal illness and prepares to join the IDF. Though Argentina faces the worst economic crisis in its history, the Goldsteins are being reared in a newly developed gated community that displaces working class families. Each sibling rehearses their escape from the capitalist Eden of their birth, unaware that the gated community will soon be underwater, and their family scattered all over the earth. 
     
     
     
    The second half of the novel takes place between 2018 and 2035, imagining possible futures for this existence in migration. Jeremías lives in Paris until an undeclared war destroys the city, and Nina, after tracing Mateo's last steps to his death in Tel Aviv, ends up in Berlin, where the European Union is found in the shambles of its own history. The novel progresses into a dire near future of constant flight and fire as the siblings search for one another. Berlin Atomized is Julia Kornberg's napalm-ic debut—a tale about the end of the world, as told by the youth to which that world had been promised.

    Death is hard. It’s as inevitable as manipulation and misogyny; as inevitable as love, conflict, insanity, sleep-deprivation, and broken hearts. It’s coming. It’s here. 
    On the 28th April 2018, a young poet called Dan “DC” Collins was found dead in the woodlands by his home in Birmingham. He’d taken his own life. This was done, at least in part, because I had made the incredibly selfish decision to stop being his girlfriend. This decision would go on to affect the rest of my adult life. 
    I decided to escape from this reality by moving away to Basque Country, hoping to Eat, Pray, Love my way out of the survivor’s guilt and PTSD. This did not work. Instead, I had a nervous breakdown. Away from all the people who loved me, un-medicated, and isolated in a country where I didn’t speak the language, I managed to incredibly successfully push myself over the edge. It was a bad decision. I did however, manage to keep a diary of this inevitable mental decline. That diary is And Marvel. 
    I wanted to show this reality from the perspective of a flawed, grieving person. I wanted, most importantly, to keep DC alive in the only way I could. 
    This book contains candid discussions of suicide and the ways the world holds women responsible for the actions of their partners.

    A high-society heiress trades places with a struggling artist—and discovers the love and freedom she never knew she needed… 
    Lady Alexandra Cavendish has spent her life in a gilded cage, suffocated by aristocratic expectations and a future she never chose. When her father, the formidable Duke of Bedford, demands she marry for status, Alexandra makes a daring decision—she swaps lives with Cassandra Fairweather, a struggling New Zealand artist who shares an uncanny resemblance to her. 
    What begins as a thrilling deception soon turns into something far more dangerous. In London’s elite circles, Cassandra finds herself tangled in a web of secrets, particularly with the sharp-witted and dangerously perceptive Lord Sebastian Ashworth, who suspects she isn’t who she claims to be. Meanwhile, in New Zealand’s wild landscapes, Alexandra falls for the passionate, free-spirited artist Daniel Morrison—only to realize that true love comes at a cost. 
    But when the truth unravels and their carefully constructed lies begin to crumble, both women must make the ultimate choice—duty or desire, expectation or freedom, the life they were born into or the one they were meant to live.
