Tamar by Mal Peet

Tamar has the story of two different groups of people at different times. The first group takes place in the final winter of WWll in the Netherlands. Two young men under the code names, Dart and Tamar stay in Holland sending messages back and forth to the army. Marijke, a woman that lives in the farmhouse where Tamar is staying. As time goes by, Dart slightly goes insane and the trio becomes in danger. The second group takes place three generations later where a young girl, Tamar, and her somewhat cousin, Yoyo, go on an adventure to find out why her grandfather, William committed suicide. The plot and characters in my opinion where very basic and not too interesting. However, the overall potrail of Holland at the time of the war was very good. I felt that it gave a good image of what the people living in Holland felt at the time.
