Kirkus posted its review this week of Girl in the Blue Coat. The whole thing is posted here, but this is the best morsel for a fretting fragile-ego'd writer:
"Hesse’s impeccable research meshes almost seamlessly with Hanneke’s present-tense narration, bringing the time and place to life. Rich in content and emotion, this is a first-rate companion to the historical tales of the onderduikers, the hidden Jews of Holland, and a compelling read...Shelve this one beside resistance tales like Elizabeth Wein’s Code Name Verity and read next to a box of tissues."
Santa! Thank you!
