'Manja' is a 1938 novel by the Austrian author and playwright Anna Gmeyner. It was first published as Manja. Ein Roman um fünf Kinder in Amsterdam, before being translated into English by Philip Owens. The novel was published in the UK and USA in 1939 as The Wall, and Five Destinies respectively. Reprinted in German in 1984 by Persona-Verlag, an English edition translated by Kate Philips was published by Persephone Books in 2002.



Gmeyner wrote Manja while living in Belsize Park, North London. Eva Ibbotson drew on this period of her mother's life in her novel The Morning Gift.[1].

Manja was published in the UK in September 1939, shortly after Britain declared war on Germany marking the beginning of WWII.
