This amazing book opened my eyes to the bravery and courage required to survive war. Pippa was only 21 years old when she became a special operative in Normandy, France reporting on German troop movements. She also tells of what happened to the special operatives and local people under the cruel Nazi rule. The constant fear she lived under was palpable as I turned the pages. Pippa also has a strong, unexpected New Zealand connection which she reveals to readers.
A wonderful read about difference and racism in Aotearoa and the need to be oneself. Engaging artwork and riveting prose.
An absorbing read about being the child of English immigrants and the search for Pakeha identity in Aotearoa New Zealand. I wondered if it would appeal more to older readers? Beautifully written. Recommended:)
If you want to know about the Holocaust on a very personal level, do read this book. It is heart-breaking, tense, very well- written and meticulously researched. A book about family love, tragedy, despair, survival, hope and much more.
