But Hear Me is more than one woman's story—as remarkable and powerfully written as that story is.

In the early 1980s, when Erna Walraven decided to follow her dreams and become one of the first female zookeepers in Australia, she thought her biggest challenges would be feeding big cats and subduing irate gorillas.

Lola Lafon hat eine Nacht allein im ehemaligen Versteck der Familie Frank in Amsterdam verbracht. Sie geht von Raum zu Raum, lauscht dem Echo derer, die dort ausharren mussten, und spürt der Dunkelheit nach. Was sie findet, ist nicht nur die Geschichte Anne Franks, sondern auch die Geschichte ihrer eigenen Familie. Selbst zum verbindenden Element geworden, tastet sich Lola Lafon immer weiter vor. Ein beeindruckender dokumentarischer Roman, der gegen das Vergessen anschreibt und etwas Neues erschafft.
