Review: When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary

When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary When We Flew Away: A Novel of Anne Frank Before the Diary by Alice Hoffman
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

If you are a fan of historical fiction then this book is for you.  I am not, but I have read some that I loved.  This one was for a book club and so I did manage to finish it.  I guess because I know the story of Anne Frank I found it quite repetitive and drawn out.  Most of it was fiction and I already knew the outcome.  It does give you a look into the life of a young girl who was not your typical child and certainly not a follower.  It also brings out the sadness of those times in history.  If you do read this book, I would highly recommend following it with the Diary of Anne Frank.
