Book description :

Ottla, born in 1892, was Kafka's younger sister. With the encouragement of her brother and despite her parents' wishes, she pushed through her own career choice and marriage to a Czech Christian. During the Nazi era, she divorced her husband to avoid jeopardizing his profession, moved to Theresienstadt, and volunteered to accompany a Kindertransport to Auschwitz in early October 1943.
The letters to Ottla reveal a new Kafka, a compassionate, helpful, and frequently humorous brother, a decent company. Kafka wrote to Ottla for nearly 25 years, till his death, the only person in whom he had entire faith.
