Hava Daniels and Simon Lyon are the best of friends but they are friends when the world will not allow a Jew and a Belgian national hero's daughter to BE friends.
It's wartime during the occupation of Belgium and to survive the pair hsve to run for their lives.
This is their story of their attempt to flee a war torn country and the racism and stigma while atrocities are being committed all around them.
The events narrated are horrific but although at times brutallt graphic this is a story that needs to be told as a testament to what happens when we commit appalling acts in the name of war.
Powerful and emotive this was an amazing read that can move the reader to tears.
I read a lot of war fiction and this was definitely one of the better ones and would make a good choice for a school syllabus to inform us of the past.
This will definitely appeal to war / historical fans.
