I first read this book, many, many years ago as just a very young adult. And even though it was emotionally impactful then at the time. I truly don't think my brain was fully formed in order to really take in just how horrific and truly painful this story is.
But, yet again, I was overwhelmed after finishing this book. Anne's writing had so much depth and feeling that it almost felt as if I had travelled to the Secret Annex and spent time with her.
After finishing the book, I considered myself genuinely lucky because I didn't have to live in a cramped little house with eight people; I didn't have to listen to the marching army boots,; I didn't have to hear the army planes soaring high above; and I did not have to listen to the pounding of my heart in terror.
