The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom
3.0
Corrie ten Boom, a watchmaker, lives in Haarlem with her father and sister. Devout Christians, they open their home to shelter persecuted Jews during the occupation of the Netherlands in the Second World War.
I've heard of Corrie ten Boom and her family before, so it was certainly interesting to read about her experience in her own words. I admired her upright principals and her desire to help people less fortunate than herself, which stems from her faith. However, I thought the writing was a little simplistic and sugar-coated, perhaps because of the short length of the book.
