All That I Am

Author: Anna Funder

2013 Longlist

When Hitler comes to power in 1933, a tight-knit group of friends and lovers become hunted outlaws overnight.  United in their resistance to the madness and tyranny of Nazism, they flee the country.  Dora, passionate and fearless; her lover, the great playwright Ernst Toller; her younger cousin Ruth and Ruth’s husband Hans find refuge in London.  Here they take awe-inspiring risks in order to continue their work in secret.  But England is not the safe-haven they think it is, and a single, chilling act of betrayal will tear them apart.

Some seventy years later, Ruth is living out her days is Sydney, making an uneasy peace with the ghosts of her past, and a part of history that has all but been forgotten.

(From Publisher)

Librarians’ Comments

An eloquent, well researched, well constructed novel and a gripping story.

Anna Funder’s beautifully written first novel and second book, ‘All that I Am’, spans continents and time from 1930s pre-war Britain to Australia at the turn of the 21st century. This finely imagined book describes the courage of anti-Hitler activists and raises moral challenges.
