Dear Readers,
Sometimes a new title draws you attention
because of a beautiful color, sometimes because the story line because it is a
favorite author and other times it is because of storyline. Snow on the
Tulips by Liz Tolsma drew me in because of the subject matter; of course the
beautiful cover didn't hurt.
Snow is about the Dutch resistance at the
end of WWII when the Germans are slowing being pushed out of the Netherlands by
the allies but are still a force to be feared. They are still hunting the
resistance and killing any and all they find.
Cornelia has lost so much to the war; she
is just a shadow of who she use to be. She just wants to survive and live
quietly. When her younger brother brings a wounded resistance fighter,
Gerrit, to her doorstep, she knows that her life is about to change again.
A war story with a little different
perspective, one with the view from the people whose land was invaded.
The innocent bystanders who just want their country back and are willing
to fight for it and sacrifice so much to earn it back. Did they need
help? Yup, but that did not make their work any less impressive.
Happy Reading,
