WINNER OF THE MICHAEL L. PRINTZ AWARD - WINNER OF THE CARNEGIE MEDAL - A truly moving and memorable young adult historical fiction novel filled with poignant revelations and unexpected connections. Moving and multilayered . . . this novel is beautifully written, emotionally touching, and intellectually challenging.--VOYA
Jacob Todd is about to discover himself. Seventeen-year-old Jacob's plan is to go to Amsterdam to explore the city and honor his grandfather who died there during World War II. But nothing goes as planned. Jacob isn't prepared for love--or 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. 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. And like Jacob, Geertrui was not prepared. Geertrui and Jacob live worlds apart, but their voices blend together to tell one story--a story that transcends time and place and war.
