Wow a wish list book, thanks!!!! (((HUGS)))

The inspiration of the story sprung from two sources. Anne Frank wrote in her diary, "He [Peter] said that after the war he'd make sure nobody would know he was Jewish." The other from a tour guide at Anne Frank's house, who claimed that Peter's fate after leaving the annex was unknown. These words kept Feldman's mind spinning: what really happened to Peter? The result of her imagination is this finely crafted novel, in which Peter emigrated to the United States and lived under a new identity. All was fine, until one day he noticed the smiling face of Anne Frank, his first love, on the cover of the book his wife was reading.

The book is thoughtfully written, and thought-provoking. The character Peter feels very authentic, though not necessarily likable. His tormented mind simply grips you as you sympathize and try to understand him, as you wish he'd do things differently but can understand why he acts the way he does.
