Upon the death of her grandfather, Tamar receives a puzzle, a box of clues that slowly reveal the secrets of his life in Nazi occupied Netherlands as part of the Dutch resistance. The story that unfurls centers upon Tamar's grandfather, and a central betrayal that will change her forever.
A truly awesome novel, the marketing should have been more up front about the central story that is set in 1945 and not focused so much on Tamar's frame story in 1995. Peet did an excellent job creating the tension, suspicion, hunger and fear that existed in Holland during WWII. I love that the author didn't insert judgment and unfolded the story without telling me what to think. A critical read for any bibliophile.
