Margie Franklin has a secret. It is 1959 and she is working as a secretary for a Jewish Law Firm in Philadelphia, living her life quietly. There is a new movie at the cinema "The Diary of Anne Frank", and Margie is finding it harder to hide who she really is. She is really Margot Frank, the older sister of Anne, who escaped while being moved between camps.
I felt very emotional reading this novel, as I think she captured Margot, a character we all think we know well. In Annes shadow while in the Annexe Margot feels slighted by her father, who has chosen to publish Annes diary, and make a new life for himself in Switzerland.
A 4/5 for me.
