A Small Person Far Away
Judith Kerr
Partly autobiographical, this is the third title in Judith Kerr’s internationally acclaimed trilogy of books following the life of Anna through war-torn Germany, to London during the Blitz and her return to Berlin to discover the past… Berlin is where Anna lived before Hitler, when she was still a German child; before she spoke a word of English, before her family had all become refugees. Long before her happy new existence in London. But Mama is there, dangerously ill. Anna is forced to go back, to deal with questions of life and death, to face old fears, and to discover the past which she has so long shut away. Content warning: this book contains references to suicide, appropriate for older readers.

It was a very moving but sad book.

This is the last book in the trilogy by Judith Kerr. I enjoyed reading all three and all three were excellent!

Very sad in the middle but a happy ending to the series.

It was very obvious that it was a sequel, and you had to have previous knowledge to read it. Otherwise,good book!

This book had got me thinking about how unfortunate things can trigger at any time and because they're so sudden, you have no idea how to solve it.

It was quite sad but I liked how Anna still loved her Mum.

I have already read the previous two books during lockdown and this finished the trilogy. I enjoyed learning about her life and how she had to cope with lots of hard times and choices.

This book was a bit boring. I wouldn’t really recommend this book. I wasn’t really fascinated as I like action and adventure books.
