About this title

Review:

"One might ask, what remains to be said about Anne Frank? Quite a bit, as it turns out." --Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"The first serious biography of Anne Frank." --David Barnouw and Gerrold van der Stroom, editors of The Diary of Anne Frank: The Critical Edition

"Müller pays respect to the legend, but she also does something long overdue. She saves Anne Frank from idolatry and impersonal symbolism by restoring her physical presence." --Time

"A meticulous and gripping narrative." --Laura Shapiro, Newsweek

"Müller biography ably celebrates 'a life of singular intensity.' ...In the end, it does exactly what it should: sends us back to Anne's words." --The Philadelphia Inquirer

"Remarkable...Müller has achieved the near-impossible by restoring human proportions to the near mysthical Anne....she has returned the young writer to history." --Susan Jacoby, Newsday

"Flawlessly researched and compellingly written...In her comprehensive and nuanced portrait of Anne and her collapsing world, Müller has given us Anne Frank for adults." --The Christian Science Monitor

"In this updated edition of her superb 1998 biography, Müller adds immeasurably to a well-known story...An invaluable complement to an immortal testimony." --Kirkus (starred review)

"Müller offers an especially impressive portrait of Anne's father, Otto, as well as a chilling, convincing theory about the Dutch informant who likely led the Gestapo to the secret annex." --Carolyn Alessio, Chicago Tribune (editor's choice)

"A thoughtful book, honorable and fluent...humane." --Robert Skloot, The Nation

"The author's literary gifts and exhaustive research distinguish Anne Frank: The Biography as both an absorbing and definitive text." --Deborah Hornblow, The Hartford Courant

"Müller succeeds in rounding out the picture of the sensitive and talented Jewish schoolgirl though interviews with friends and family, letters and previously unavailable documents." --The Minneapolis Star Tribune
