tiffschwartz 's review for:
Our Narrow Hiding Places
by Kristopher Jansma
This was my first WWII from the Dutch perspective. I had never heard of the Hunger Winter and it was eye opening to read about. Our Narrow Hiding Places follows Mieke Geborn, as an 80 year old lady living in New Jersey and when she was struggling staying alive during the war.
She tells her story when her grandson, Will, surprises her by showing up after she falls, she starts to tell her story that is filled with heartache & the trauma that was experienced after the occupation.
It written in third person and in my own opinion I would have loved it in first person using Mieke's perspective. In the acknowledgements he thanks everyone, including his oma, Mieke. That made it so special!
I cannot wait to recommend the audiobook to coworkers when it comes out
