Set in East Germany in 1980, Barbara centers on a young doctor who has applied for an exit visa from the GDR. As punishment, she is transferred from her prestigious post in Berlin to a small pediatric hospital in the country where she must weigh her absolute dedication to her patients against a potential escape to the West, and her newfound attraction to a doctor in whom she sees a kindred spirit.
Introduced by Virginia Wright Wexman, professor emerita of English and art history, University of Illinois at Chicago.
