Anna Funder height - How tall is Anna Funder?

Funder's 2012 novel All That I Am tells the previously untold story of four German-Jewish anti-Hitler activists forced to flee to London. There, they continued the dangerous and illegal work of smuggling documents out of Goering's office, and giving them to Winston Churchill (a backbencher at the time) to try to alert the world to Hitler's plans for war. But the Gestapo was – even this early – active in London. In 1935 two of them, both women, were found dead from poison in mysterious circumstances in a locked room in Bloomsbury. The coroner's inquest into the deaths was a whitewash. Funder's novel reimagines courage, desire and resistance, and what happened in that room. The book has been hailed as 'Superb' (The Spectator), 'strong and impressively humane' (The Times Literary Supplement), 'a beautiful ensemble novel of Graham Green’esque proportions' (Weekendavisen (Denmark)) and 'an essential novel' by Column McCann.

All That I Am has been published in twenty countries and spent over one and a half years on the bestseller list, appearing several times at number one. The novel was BBC Book of the Week and Book at Bedtime in the UK, and The Times (London) Book of the Month for May 2012.
