review 1: An American woman with a Dutch background finds her life cast asunder by the murder of her mother and the kidnapping of her infant child. She is not satisfied that the local police are doing enough to find her daughter so she decides to go on a quest to retrieve the child. On the way she discovers that her mother had ties with both Nazis and Jews is occupied Holland during World War 2 and this is integral to why her mother was killed and daughter was taken. Though the book was well written I was pretty much able to guess ahead about what the various "twists and turns" would be which put a damper on it for me.
review 2: This book was a massive disappointment for me. In theory it is a good plot but the execution, for me, was clumsy. I felt that the historical imp... moreortance of what happened to Dutch Jews was skimmed over. In the book there is a reference to Anne Frank and how it was more of a fairytale that what really happened but the author does nothing at all to enlighten us. It could have been a great, great book but it just didn't gel for me. less
