Book Synopsis A Hidden Life by : Johanna Reiss

Download or read book A Hidden Life written by Johanna Reiss and published by Melville House Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At her husband's urging, Johanna Reiss returned with her family to Holland to chronicle the time she spent hiding from the Nazis during WWII, resulting in her Newbery Honor-wining The Upstairs Room. But unknown to the millions who read her beloved classic, behind the dark and painful story of the book was a still darker tale: Reiss' husband returned to America early and committed suicide at age 37, leaving no note. Subtle and disturbing, the book is a powerful consideration of memory, violence, and loss, told in a stunning and sparse narrative style.
