At the start of World War II, ten-year-old Franziska Mangold is torn from her family when she boards the kindertransport in Berlin, the train that secretly took nearly 10,000 children out of Nazi territory to safety in England. Taken in by strangers, Frances (as she is now called) courageously pieces together a new life for herself. But what will happen to her when she is finally reunited with her family, now that sheâ‚¬s a stranger herself after seven years of war?
Â
Originally published in Germany, Anne Voorhoeveâ‚¬s award-winning novel is filled with humor, danger, and romance.
