Sobre este artículo
Bodley Head, London, 1999. First Edition. Softcover. Very Good Condition. Colour illustrated softcover binding, with the rear panel being the front panel printed upside down, with the addition of the barcode. The book comes with attached fold over flaps. The book runs 2 tracks, one in 1944, with Jacob Todd and embattled soldier, and the other in 1995, his namesake and grandson who is visiting Amsterdam for the commemoration of the Battle of Arnhem. T Their 2 lives are linked. the book is recommended as adolescent reading, but I have my doubts, believing that the level of language is much more suited to an adult Reading level. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 336 pages. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Literature & Literary; ISBN: 0370323769. ISBN/EAN: 9780370323763. Inventory No: 0253238. . 9780370323763
Sinopsis
Seventeen-year-old Jacob Todd is about to discover himself. Jacob's plan is to go to Amsterdam to honor his grandfather who died during World War II. He expects to go, set flowers on his grandfather's tombstone, and explore the city. But nothing goes as planned. Jacob isn't prepared for love&150or to face questions about his sexuality. Most of all, he isn't prepared to hear what Geertrui, the woman who nursed his grandfather during the war, has to say about their relationship. Geertrui was always known as Jacob's grandfather's kind and generous nurse. But it seems that in the midst of terrible danger, Geertrui and Jacob's grandfather's time together blossomed into something more than a girl caring for a wounded soldier. And like Jacob, Geertrui was not prepared. Geertrui and Jacob live worlds apart, but their voices blend together to tell one story&150a story that transcends time and place and war. By turns moving, vulnerable, and thrilling, this extraordinary novel takes the reader on a memorable voyage of discovery.
