Critics Review
I’m in awed envy of the daring with which Anne Blankman plunges into her difficult and sensitive subject matter. To read Prisoner of Night and Fog is to be immersed in a breathtaking evocation of Munich in the 1930s, where life is ordinary and skin-crawling by turns, and in the painful, hopeful story of one young girl’s awakening conscience. It’s terrifying and incredible to think how much of this story is true - Elizabeth Wein, author of CODENAME VERITY
A tremendously cleverly constructed and terrifically compelling story that puts you right back into History - I read this one obsessively and felt every single moment - I haven’t liked a historical fiction novel quite this much since Elizabeth Wein’s Rose Under Fire. Prisoner of Night and Fog is completely absorbing. It’s well-written and clever, and the sort of book that lingers in your thoughts well after the final pages - Completely engrossing - Publishers Weekly (starred review)About The Author
Anne Blankman
Anne Blankman was born in upstate New York and studied at Union College, during which time she did an exchange in York, England - a place she’s always dreamed of returning to. She has since worked as a youth services librarian. The idea for PRISONER OF NIGHT AND FOG came to her after she learned about Hitler’s beloved half niece who shared his luxurious Munich flat. Anne began wondering what it would have been like to be a young girl growing up within the Nazi elite’s inner circle - and if it would have been possible to break free from it. This is her debut novel.
