Review:
Truly moving...leaving one with great hope in humanity. (Julia Neuberger The Times)
Both memoir and meditation, it is moving and wise... neither sanguine nor sentimental about the Holocaust and man's capacity for evil. It shows that a belief in goodness... is the key to living well with such a past. The most vivid evocation of the experience of Nazi Occupation I have ever read. (Linda Holt The Independent)
It's impossible to get through this inspiring and great-hearted volume dry-eyed, or without admiration for people who so bravely persevere through unimaginable hardship and privation. (The Washington Post)
Gives all the pain and pleasure of reading Anne Frank for the first time. (Esther Freud)
It holds you with the same intensity as The Diary of Anne Frank and leaves you heart-broken, illuminated, and amazed at the capacity for courage. (The Guardian)
One of the best and most moving memoirs I have ever read. (Ruth Rendell Sunday Times)
Edith's Story, the memoir of an Anne Frank who lived, reminds us of the old horror all the more effectively bu not being a horror story. Evil and grief, without being scanted, are outshone by sweetness, freshness, and pluck. (Roy Blount Jr.)
A significant Holocaust memoir... A valuable opportunity to see the situation just outside Anne's attic. (Kirkus Reviews)
