A 1001 CBYMRBYGU. Anna has to leave Germany with her family to flee the Nazis. First the family goes to Switzerland, then to Paris, and finally to England. Anna's father has great difficulty finding work as a writer so the family must make many sacrifices, including learning new languages and having to do most of the household work themselves.
The most interesting part of this book came when I learned it was based on the author's own life. It felt very true.
