Marianne's world is turning upside down. First, she is thrown out of school, then friends reject her and call her names. All around she starts to see acts of violence and hatred against her neighbours. And her father has been forced to go into hiding. This is Berlin. It is 1938, and the Nazi government is pursuing its anti-Jewish policies with vigour. Marianne's life is suddenly disrupted by events beyond her control. Based on the actual Kindertransport rescue mission which saved the lives of thousands of Jewish children in Germany before the outbreak of the Second World War, Goodbye Marianne is a gripping read; full of suspense and compassion.
