Hope: A Tragedy by Shalom Auslander

Our main character has moved into an old farmhouse that he can ill afford; his elderly mother insists on lamenting the horrible time she had in the concentration camps, which she was never actually in, having been born in Brooklyn in 1945. And then he discovers, hiding in his attic, Anne Frank. And how can he throw her out? How can anyone, least of all a Jew, throw Anne Frank out of the attic? His marriage is buckling under the pressure....it's sort of funny, in an odd, sad little way.
