When We Flew Away | Alice Hoffman

⭐⭐⭐⭐

This quick read is a fictionalized story based on Hoffman's research and knowledge of the Holocaust. Specifically what life may have been like for Anne and her family as they fought to live a "normal" life during the Nazi occupation before they went into hiding. A very well written, beautiful, and heartbreaking novel. #audiobook

Kenyazero I didn't see myself as a reader as a kid because I struggled with reading, but I liked reading Garfield comics (which I knew teachers and librarians were not impressed by) and eventually graduated to Sailor Moon manga from there, and then other manga. These items helped me figure out how my brain reads. I'm sure reading copious amounts of fanfics as a teen also helped 🤭 I started finding experiences I related to in these nontraditional reads. 1mo
megnews @Kenyazero that‘s great! I think it‘s a shame when comics aren‘t considered reading. I have 2 daughters that are readers but my son had a lot of difficulty and I was happy when he read car magazines! 1mo

A co-worker gifted this book to me yesterday. I admire Corrie Ten Boom‘s courage to survive & forgive. Her love for Jesus has inspired me since childhood. Starbucks holiday drinks were released today ~ my favorite Caramel Brûlée Latte made with oat milk in my personal cup. #LitsyLoveBingo

Ok the epilogue read by Alice Hoffman has me tearing up over here. This is a relatively short (5 hours on audio) historical novel about the life of Anne Frank & her family just before they go into hiding. The audiobook is narrated by Matilda herself, Mara Wilson, who has a lovely smooth & easy to listen to voice. Highly recommended to anyone who loves HF, & anyone interested in Anne Frank & WWII. 5⭐️

CatLass007 I‘ve put this on hold with my library. Thanks for your review and recommendation. 2mo
JenlovesJT47 @CatLass007 I hope you enjoy it! 2mo
CatLass007 I hope so too. But I‘m not really sure that “enjoyment” is what I‘d expect to feel about even a fictional book about Anne Frank. But WWII fiction is something I‘m drawn to. 2mo
