* spoiler alert ** If I could give a book zero stars I would do so for this horrible book. First of all the author invents WWII history to server her purposes. " The diary ended three days before the people in the annex were betrayed and…

A great read. Very interesting, especially after reading The Diary of a Young Girl, it gives you the point of view of Margot, Anne Frank's sister and what would have happened if she survived. An amazing book.

What was the purpose of writing this book? It is about real person-sister of Anne Frank, Margot, inventing by author what and how it would be if Margot survive and escape to America. And how she, Margot, could envy of her sister's…

What if you could write your own version of history? The premise of this book was intriguing. Almost reads like a true account. Very well written and a great imaginative story. A great selection for book clubs!

This is the second book I read by Jillian Cantor and I really enjoy her writing. Such an interesting idea for a story- what if Margot Frank survived and was living in the U.S.? Cantor's interpretation of this story is so heartbreaking at…

I loved reading this book so much! I read it well into the night. It was impossible to set down. I would recommend this to everyone. It's well written and goes with Margot's true story. I found it very interesting to hear about what might…

This is an easy read, but it's truly the unique story line that makes the reading go by even more quickly. The idea that a historical figure, who should, by all accounts, be dead, but really isn't, is an interesting concept. Margot's…

Fiction based on history. I like the writing style; clear and concise. I also like the story. I liked this book; but I would have loved it had the author not lapsed into Harlequin Romance mode every so often.

Revisionist history tends me make me wary but seeing this one in our library's new acquisitions made me curious. In the world of this book Margot Frank survived the Holocaust and is now living in Philadelphia as a Gentile legal…

This was a sad book, but I couldn't put it down. The premise of Anne Frank's sister not dying, but escaping and moving to Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, was thought provoking. Especially when the book and movie about her sister…
