Anna Funder, winner of the Samuel Johnson Prize and author of
Stasiland, offers a thrilling tale and powerful love story that
tells the heroic and tragic true story of the German resistance in
World War II in All That I Am. 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 must 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
breath-taking risks in order to continue their work in secret. But
England is not the safe-haven they think it to be, and a single,
chilling act of betrayal will tear them apart... 'The strengths of
Funder's writing are emotional and imaginative. In what she has to
say about love, loss and betrayal there is profound truth' The
Times 'An often pacy and exciting read ... Funder captures
perfectly the sense of her characters' deprived and dangerous
lives' Daily Mail 'A superb novel that transcends its setting. This
book is a wonder. Do, please, read it' Spectator Anna Funder is the
author of the international bestseller Stasiland, which won the
2004 Samuel Johnson Prize and was published in 20 countries and
translated into 16 languages. She is the recipient of numerous
awards, and a former DAAD and Rockefeller Foundation Fellow. Anna
Funder grew up in Melbourne and Paris and lives in Sydney with her
husband and family.
