Book Reviews of Tamar: A Novel of Espionage, Passion, and Betrayal
Book Review: Unforgetable!
Summary: 5 Stars
The plot grips you and is interwoven throughout the book-- I love it when bits and pieces of stray information all come together in the end. The characters are developed so well that you can understand their pain, even those you'd like to hate. An excellent novel for discussion, and for any age. I read it looking for books to use with high school students, I'm going to recommend it to my reading club (we're all over 50), and I think both groups will enjoy it. The best book I've read this year.
Summary of Tamar: A Novel of Espionage, Passion, and Betrayal
Now available - the Carnegie Medal winner comes to the U.S.When her grandfather dies, Tamar inherits a box containing a series of clues and coded messages. Out of the past, another Tamar emerges, a man involved in the terrifying world of resistance fighters in Nazi-occupied Holland half a century before. His story is one of passionate love, jealousy, and tragedy set against the daily fear and casual horror of the Second World War -- and unraveling it is about to transform Tamar’s life forever.
From acclaimed British sensation Mal Peet comes a masterful story of adventure, love, secrets, and betrayal in time of war, both past and present.
