On its way to Boekentrol.

It has aerived safely 😃 I look forward to reading it. Thank you for this trade!!

Short contents:
Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History, where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great-uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel.

In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge.

What an awesome book.
Sad, interesting and still full of hope and will power.

I loved the book. And I hope the next person likes it as much :-)

Eindelijk is het dan zover: dit boek gaat op reis naar de volgende lezer.
Heel veel leesplezier, Enitnaj, met dit boek dat jouw kant uitgaat voor mijn Ik eord sl weer 10!-RABCK :-)

Dank je wel Boekentrol! Dat was een verrassing! Zaterdag bij thuiskomst een briefje van de postbode dat hij ons gemist had... Lief en ik hadden geen van tweeën iets besteld. Goh, wat zou je zijn? Moesten we dus tot vanmiddag onze nieuwsgierigheid zien te bedwingen 😂
Hier had ik niet aan gedacht, maar heel leuk! Ben echt heel benieuwd naar dit boek!

Received as a RABCK, big surprise! Hope to be able to start reading soon!

Iets minder “soon” dan ik destijds dacht/hoopte/wilde. En toen is het boek naar achteren geraakt op de plank...maar het is tevoorschijn gekomen en binnen een paar dagen uitgelezen! Wat een prachtig boek! Mooie verhaallijnen, toch ook wel weer een nieuwe manier van kijken naar de oorlog in een roman. Knap geschreven, aandoenlijk, het heeft me geraakt.
Dank nogmaals boekentrol!
Het mag verder op reis, mogelijk neem ik het mee naar Australië...

Well, it took a lot more time to start in this book, but when I finally started reading I finished in a few days. The book took me and I could hardly stop reading. Beautifully told stories on a subject that is well-known, touching...
The book may continue its journey now.

Sent in a package to Romney for the convention!

I should have journalled this earlier, sorry. I had put these books aside to take to the next local meet up - which has still not happened thanks to Covid. I am hoping to organise something this month though, so time to get sorted out.

I ended up keeping this book to read - and I am glad I did, it was great. It will finally get to the next meetup for release soon.

I hope this book makes someone's day. If it's not your kind of read, journal it, pass it on and join in the fun of watching books you have touched travel the world!
