MARGOT
Book ID/图书代码: 06840012B52758
English Summary/英文概要: Anne Frank has long been a symbol of bravery and hope, but she was also a sister. There were two sisters in that now-famous, once-secret annex in Amsterdam, two Jewish girls, one made famous by her published diary, the other sister nearly forgotten. Written in the vein of LOVING FRANK and SARAH’S KEY, MARGOT is a fictional rendering of the forgotten sister, and what might have happened to her had she lived.It is the spring of 1959, and THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK has just come to the silver screen to great acclaim. Margie Franklin is living in Philadelphia working as a secretary at a Jewish law firm. On the surface, she lives a quiet, simple life, but underneath, she has many secrets: a life she once lived, a past and a religion she has denied, and a family and a country she left behind. Margie Franklin is really Margot Frank, elder sister of Anne. She did not die of typhus in Bergen-Belsen as reported, but instead escaped the Nazis and began a new life in America. For years, she has been harboring not only the secret of her identity, but also the secret of what happened between her and her sister Anne in their fateful, last moments together.
As the popularity of THE DIARY OF ANNE FRANK heightens the relevance of the Holocaust and Jewish prejudice, Margie’s carefully constructed American life begins to fall apart. The movie re-opens old wounds, and Margie soon begins to suspect that Peter van Pels might also still be alive and living in Philadelphia. To make matters worse, Margie’s boss, Joshua, whom she harbors a secret crush on, has taken on a case relating to discrimination against Jews. His client is a Holocaust survivor, who sparks vivid memories of Margie’s life fifteen years ago, a world of yellow stars, Nazis, and concentration camp tattoos. The client seems to be able to see right through Margie’s façade.
As Margot’s past and Margie’s present begin to collide, Margie’s American future is at stake, unless she can come to terms with the life she once led, and the things she once did, as Margot Frank.
