When 15-year-old Tamar's grandfather kills himself, she is devastated. She adored her grandfather and for a time cannot even bring herself to open the box he left her. When she does she finds that he left her a mystery to solve. Inside the box are clues that take her on a journey of discovery that will take her to the river that bears her name and take the reader 51 years into the past. The book moves between 1995 England and 1941 Nazi occupied Holland where we meet another Tamar, a Dutch resistance fighter. This book is billed as a novel of "Espionage, Passion, and Betrayal" and delivers on all counts. It is on of the most powerful books I have read in a long time. One of those wonderful books that stay with the reader long after you close the book. Trust me, this is one that is NOT to be missed.
