Produktbeschreibung
Anna is a secret service agent. When she's not on a mission, Anna likes to return to Amsterdam, to the secret annex where Anne Frank and her family hid. Strangely this is the only place where Anna feels at home. During one such pilgrimage, the spy notices that someone is following her. After a harrowing chase through the city, the "organization" takes her to a safe house, whose location is kept from Anna, although clues reveal that she's in Montreal. There, she meets Celestino, a great lover of literature. The eccentric man, host at the so-called Hotel Budapest, keeps careful watch over her and the eight other residents. Anna names them according to the literary heroes they most resemble: a couple of old Slavs look like characters straight out of Turgenev's short stories, a nervous, boastful young man is named for Proust's Charles Morel, an alley cat is called Moortje, after Anne Frank's cat.
