Why read it?
1 author picked What World is Left as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love stories that are inspired by real people, and this is one of them; based on a true story about the author's mother who was sent to a concentration camp with her family. Anneke, the young girl of the story, must grapple with the trauma of having left behind the life she once knew.

The voice of the young girl is so authentic.
From Kathy's list on the Second World War and the Holocaust.
