"This is a really well-written book which contains so many elements attractive to the middle-school and up reader; history, mystery, romance, conflict.
The main character really begins to come of age in the book, as she learns to see for herself what life is like in her time and place.
I really like that the romance in the novel is chaste and that there is ultimately respect for the value of marriage."
"Sophia and I are reading this book about a German girl living in the Netherlands during World War II and how she comes to understand the damage that is being inflicted upon the Dutch and the rest of Europe.
Very good book - excellent for children. Tells the story of a German girl who learns what the Jewish people are going through and that everything she had been taught in Germany was not true."
"I'd hoped to find "Pegeen" and "The Cottage at Bantry Bay" on the shelves, but alas, no luck. This book, though, was an excellent story of a German girl, full of false confidence in her Wagnerian "Aryan" heritage, who learns what real heroism is, in the Amsterdam house of secrets."
