  <default_description>&lt;b&gt;Now available - the Carnegie Medal winner comes to the U.S. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;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&amp;#8217;s life forever. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From acclaimed British sensation Mal Peet comes a masterful story of adventure, love, secrets, and betrayal in time of war, both past and present.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Much more than a novel for teenagers. Beautifully written and engrossing with a real insight into resistance to the Nazis in Holland. The characters are very sympathetic and motivations understandable. Also a satisfying but not altogether unexpected twist towards the end.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a Christmas holiday indulgence.  I just sat and read it without many interruptions.  It is a great WWII story about a couple of British/Dutch spies in Holland helping the underground resistance there.  The narrative flipped back and forth between modern day, 1995, and Holland, 1945, after t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40925461">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[While I was compelled to read WWII theme books when I was a teenager (thanks to Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank), I find as an adult I need to be more discerning.  In other words, it really needs to be good because you know that bad things happen in any book that covers this war.  <br/><br/>Th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38949018">more...</a>]]></body>
