BERLIN SYNDROME

Melanie Joosten

The film based on this novel is due for international release in mid-2016 and stars Teresa Palmer and Max Riemelt.

2006, Berlin. The once divided city still holds its share of secrets.
One afternoon, near the tourist trap of Checkpoint Charlie, Clare meets Andi. There is an instant attraction, and when Andi invites her to stay, Clare thinks she may finally have found somewhere to call home. But as the days pass and the walls of Andi's apartment close in, Clare begins to wonder if it's really love that Andi is searching for... or something more sinister.

This closely observed and suspenseful psychological novel shifts between Andi's and Clare's perspectives, revealing the power of obsession, the fluidity of truth, and the kaleidoscopic nature of human relationships. A startling debut from a talented new writer.

Born in 1981, Melanie Joosten lives and works in Melbourne. She has an Honours degree in Creative Arts and a Master of Arts (Editing) from the University of Melbourne. BERLIN SYNDROME is her first novel. Winner of the Kathleen Mitchell Award for Young Writers.
