APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Fleeing Germany when Hitler is named chancellor, a quartet of romantically linked political dissidents strives to warn Britain about the urgency of this rising threat. Shifting from before, during and after World War II, Anna Funder’s Miles Franklin-winning debut novel is a morally complex tale based on real-life figures. Read with graceful subtlety by actors Judy Bennett and Saul Reichlin, All That I Am meditates on the importance of decisive—and often dangerous—action at critical infection points in world history. Thanks to Funder’s patient character building, the core responsibilities of love and friendship dovetail naturally with the higher stakes of war and genocide.
