so-soThat was...underwhelming. So little was actually revealed that I might even pick up the sequel in hope of getting some closure. The ending feels extremely open and after 400 pages I'd like something with more substance to it. On the bright side, there was a lot of Dutch history, food and culture depicted.
Have been eating Vla pudding all of last week since they come in 1l packs😂

I had the unique experience of reading this diary when I was the same age as Anne Frank when she wrote the first entry. I am also half German. The impact, to say the least, was profound. War, no matter where, no matter when, affects and victimizes children the most. When will we ever learn??? 💔

SCORE!!!!!!!
Did anyone watch Masters of the Air - Tom Hanks and Steve Spielberg miniseries of "The Bloody Hundredth"? My favorite part was in the last episode when they did not fill the plane with bombs but food parcels for the Dutch even though there were still Nazis in the Netherlands. After they made the drop off, they saw tulips formed in the words, "Thanks, Yanks." It still fills me with tears.
It‘s about what Anne Frank may have been like had she lived. It is EXCELLENT!!
Thanks, @ChaoticMissAdventures

pickAmsterdam, 1888. Violin maker Vedder learns that a large hotel is to be built on the site of his house. At the same time rural pharmacist Anijs, is concerned about the local peat cutters, who suffer from abject poverty and have no future in the Netherlands. But emigration costs a fortune – exactly the amount that Vedder thinks he can get for the sale of his house to the hotel company. The men become involved in an oppressive adventure. Great HF!

This is my first year participating in this prompt. I am excited- found the perfect book for me, a mystery set in Amsterdam & its nearby “provinces”, with a protagonist, who is quite the character. Detective Dekok is a an Amsterdam policeman who is grumpy,irreverent, ignores authority, & is suspicious of new policing methods. So far enjoying this read. The wafels were introduced to me by @Bookwormjillk Add coffee & yum!
June was not a great reading month, so this is the best of the bunch. Another book I would not have discovered without the #1001books list.
HISTORICAL FICTION - HOLOCAUST - WORLD WAR II
ANNELIES is about Anne Frank and describes what the author thinks she would have been like had she lived.
Mr. Gillham did an outstanding job of researching as well as using a creative method of portraying Anne Frank‘s life as it may have been even though she did not survive the Holocaust.
