About this listen
Partly autobiographical, this is the second 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…
It is hard enough being a teenager in London during the Blitz, finding yourself in love and wondering every night whether you will survive the bombs. But it is even harder for Anna, who is still officially classified as an “enemy alien”. Those bombs are coming from Germany – the country that was once her own. If Hitler invades, can she and her beloved refugee family possibly survive?
This was previously published as The Other Way Round.

Very engaging personal history of WW2 from the perspective of a much-loved refugee
For any of us who have lived with The Tiger Who Came to Tea, or the marvellous Mog books, this charming autobiography by Judith Kerr recounts her family’s experience of arriving in WW2 Britain as German Jewish refugees… not only is it fascinating to learn more about the formative years of a woman who subsequently gave so much joy to countless British children with her warm-hearted picture books, but this book has a relevance in the mid 2020s when intolerance towards and suspicion of others is on the rise in the UK and elsewhere. Because it has a happy outcome, it’s a very enjoyable account, and gives insight into how difficult it can be to start again.

Superb to listen to this familiar story
Hearing this is SO much better than even reading this story; not just for young people, but for all to understand the war years and lives of those who escaped Germany. To hear this read by Judith Kerr’s daughter makes it doubly special and am looking forward to the last part of the trilogy.
