THE GIRL IN THE BLUE COAT
by Monica Hesse
A young woman living in Holland during the Nazi Occupation
is forced into smuggling and utilizing the Black Market in order to feed her
family and friends. One of her “regulars”
asks her to find “the girl in the blue coat” and that is where the mystery
begins. Secrets, betrayals, lost friendships,
disappearances, dead lovers and danger on all sides makes this a compelling and
tense read. Everyday life in an occupied
city is made real and horrific.
Although billed as Young Adult, this novel will appeal to
anyone interested in WWII and the resistance, especially in Holland.
