This audacious novel is Peter van Pels's first-person, present-tense chronicle of life in the Annex with the Frank family. Interspersed are his thoughts in the Mauthausen concentration camp, where he reflects on the fate of his parents and Anne's family. The novel provides a new look at Anne Frank--speculative, of course, but in no way contradicting her own famous diary.
