Recenzii

Definitive
Sensitive, serious and scrupulous
A well-written account, with a strong narrative and a seamless meshing of biographical and historical detail
The style of the book builds the tension and colours in an almost cinematic way, in particular evoking Anne's physical presence, from girlish selfishness through the frustrations of puberty to a deepening spirituality, so the sense of what was lost with this one life is acute ... Required reading for anyone who insists on believing that, in the face of facts, life could indeed be beautiful
Valuable ... Places the Frank story on a broader historical canvas ... Charting anti-Semitic persecution in Holland and comparing the Franks' experience with that of other Dutch Jews at the time
