I devour historical fiction but I always wonder how much of the story actually happened. I want you to know that Hunger Winter is has many historical facts and incidents. Visualize a baked potato loaded with ten of your favorite toppings.
How did I get all those historical facts into the recipe for writing this book? I read dozens of books, toured the Netherlands for three weeks, and interviewed WW2 survivors.
The historical nuggets in the book aren't immediately apparent, but they are there. For example, the first thirty nine pages of Hunger Winter contain thirty seven historical facts or incidents woven into the story line.
How much history is in Hunger Winter? There is plenty enough to go back for seconds.
