My Name is Anne, She Said, Anne Frank by Jacqueline van Maarsen

If you like non-fiction try this one. We all know the story of Anne Frank but this one is from a different perspective. This is written by a friend of Anne's. Jacqueline tells about her parents and their background before introducing Anne into the story. Jacqueline was surprised to learn one day that her friend was gone. A letter was left behind saying that she and her family had gone to Switzerland. Jacqueline had no reason to believe that wasn't true and looked forward to seeing her friend again after the war. It was Anne's father Otto who broke the news to her. In the meantime we learn about life in Amsterdam during the war. If you like this genre I think you will find this interesting.
