Ellen Feldman
The Boy Who Loved Anne Frank
A Novel
“An appealing and inventive novel . . . original and cathartic.”—Dana Kennedy, New York Times
Based on extensive research of Peter van Pels and the strange and disturbing life that Anne Frank’s diary took on after her death, this is a novel about the memory of death, the death of memory, and the inescapability of the past.
“Engaging and morally questioning . . . for those who have read only the diary or seen the play or movie, the novel will prompt them to think about her and a host of larger questions in new ways.”—USA Today
“An audacious novel . . . whose sensational theme never tarnishes the passion and delicacy with which Feldman tells her gripping story.”—American Heritage
“A powerful testament to the permanence of war’s imprint on the innocent, and how that experience defines a life forever.”—Stephen J. Lyons, Chicago Tribune
“A deeply affecting, unsettling look into the soul of a man. . . . A psychologically gripping tale, this will cause readers to think about the price of safety and the complex obligations of memory.”—Publishers Weekly
