A really interesting insight into what in reality, must have been a hard start to a life. Following Anna and her family as they flee Germany the night before Hitler comes into power, we see her change and adapt in a short space of time to three different countries. The thing I find more fascinating is its based on what actually happened to the author and her family. Its always strange to me how reading about a fictionalised story that happened in a real moment in time reads completely differently when you realise, the whole thing is based on truth.
Unlike some stories from the same time, this doesn't read as a heartbreaking tale. It reads more like a child going on an adventure with some trials and hardships thrown in. It was a fabulous read
