.terryterrones reviews ASmallLight, which tells the riveting story of Anne Frank from a unique perspective
Anne Frank’s story of hope, bravery, and resilience—told through the lens of a curious, intelligent, perceptive, and at times impatient girl—has resonated since her diary was first published in 1947. Anne has posthumously become a source of inspiration for millions, her diary has been published in over 70 languages, and her life has been crafted into countless plays, TV series, and films.
Flash forward to July 6, 1942. The Germans have occupied the Netherlands for two years. Unable to make it safely out of the country, the Franks’ plans to go into hiding are accelerated when Otto’s daughter Margot is ordered to report to a work camp. To keep the Germans occupying Amsterdam from being suspicious, the family splits up, with Margot riding her bike with Miep through a Nazi checkpoint.
Jan transforms over the course of the season almost as much as his wife. A nebbish social worker, Miep meets him at a bar while he’s reading a book on philosophy. Their relationship, initially one of convenience, is frequently tested—particularly when Jan joins the resistance. Despite a rough start, the two are the glue that hold the series together with their love, commitment, and interdependence making them a formidable pair.
