One of the book I read last semester is “the girl in the blue coat” by Monica Hesse and it is a 301 page book. The genre of this book is mystery and historical fiction.This book is about a teenager named Hannekke in 1943 who lived in Amsterdam Netherlands. Hannekke spends most of her day selling black market goods to those who can pay for it to keep her parents and herself fed. Her nights hiding the true nature of her work from concerned parents, and every waking moment mourning after her boyfriend, who was killed on the Dutch when Germans invaded which she had felt guilty for pushing him to join the war at the time. After one of Hanneke customers to search for a 15 year old Jewish girl named Mirjam who has vanished from the secret room without a trace. At first, Hannekke refuses to have anything to do with Mrs.jannsen and her dilemma but she later is drawn to the mystery of the disappearance of the Jewish girl…
At first this book seems boring but reading more it gets more and more interesting I would recommend this book to people who are interested in the war and the Jewish and Nazi party overall very good book.
This book seems pretty suspenseful, overall very interesting. Something I wouldn’t typically pick but seems informative about past historical events.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading this book, is really good I might read it again.
