"Faraway Island" by Annika Thor follows the story of two young Jewish sisters, Hannah and Kati, who are sent from Vienna to a remote island in Sweden during World War II to escape the escalating dangers of Nazi Germany. While separated from their parents, they must navigate the complexities of their new environment, adapt to the island's culture, and confront their fears and uncertainties about the future. As the sisters forge new friendships and face the challenges of displacement, their bond deepens, highlighting the themes of resilience, hope, and the enduring power of family in the face of adversity.
