Praise

Harding employs highly descriptive sensory language, heightening the emotions. Readers will emerge simultaneously awed by the passage of time and personally affected by the stories told. Teckentrup overlays her bright, exquisitely detailed sepia-toned depictions of the house and its environs with a misty haze; the results are hauntingly beautiful. Deeply moving, powerful, and breathtaking.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Today, the tall narrow house on an Amsterdam canal is known worldwide as both a museum honoring the life of Anne Frank (1929–1945) and the Frank family’s hiding place. But as previous collaborators Harding and Teckentrup (The House by the Lake) convey, the house is also part of a “remarkable history” that spans four centuries and myriad reasons for seeking shelter.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Adding rich historical context to the story of Anne Frank, this chronicle of the Amsterdam house where she was hidden opens with an atmospheric marshland scene in 1580.
