Review

'Vivid and extraordinary' * The Guardian *'Hannah's story finally completes what Anne could not. It is both heartbreaking and life-affirming, and we need its truth now more than ever.' * Dr. Edith Eger, author of The Choice *'One of the most moving, profound and important books I've ever read.' * Rangan Chatterjee *'An extraordinary story of love, loss, and the power of friendship in the darkest time. This book, like its author, is an essential companion to Anne Frank's life.' * Jack Fairweather, Costa Prizewinning author of The Volunteer *'This miraculous wartime memoir is deeply affecting because it is the story of two normal girls' * The Sunday Times *
