"Gillham is a powerful storyteller, and Annelies is marbled with spare eloquence that captures the absurdity of life after the camps. . . . A novel that reminds the world to remember Anne Frank is most welcome." -USA Today



"A haunting what-if." -Georgia Hunter, New York Times bestselling author of We Were the Lucky Ones



"Not only a poignant reminder of all that was lost during the war, but a vivid, searching exploration of what it meant to exist in the aftermath." -Jessica Shattuck, New York Times bestselling author of The Women in the Castle



From the author of City of Women, a powerful new novel that asks the question: What if Anne Frank survived the Holocaust?



Anne Frank is a cultural icon whose diary painted a vivid picture of the Holocaust and made her an image of humanity in one of history's darkest moments. But she was also a person-a precocious young girl with a rich inner life and tremendous skill as a writer. In this masterful new novel, David R. Gillham explores with breathtaking empathy the woman-and the writer-she might have become.
