From acclaimed British sensation Mal Peet comes a masterful story of
adventure, love, secrets, and betrayal in time of war, both past and
present.
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's
life forever.
