All That I am

All That I am

Era(s): Various

Location

Content

London in 1933, Germany during and after WW1, Sydney in the recent past, and New York City in 1939 are a few of the settings.

I came to this book having read and very much enjoyed Stasiland: Stories from Behind the Berlin Wall, Anna Funder’s non-fiction title about the GDR (which I would recommend to anyone interested in that period of Germany’s divided history). ‘All That I Am’ is based around four characters who, following Hitler’s rise to power, flee Germany for the UK and attempt to warn the rest of the world about the oncoming horror of Nazism.
