Baby takes you on her journey into becoming more comfortable in her
skin. Parental Advisory Explicit Content
An extraordinary story of one family's torment, betrayal and
perseverance in war time Amsterdam. War and Love is a fascinating
and detailed memoir of a family's everyday life at a time of war.
The simple storytelling reflects a period of history with which
everyone is familiar, but is told here with a raw honesty which
emphasises the horrors of the events which took place. In May 1940
the family tried and failed to flee from Holland. Some went into
hiding, others worked with the Resistance producing false papers,
and others were transported to Westerbork transit camp. Sisters
Kitty and Liesje, both in the prime of their lives, were
compromised by the Nazi laws on intermarriage. War and Love is
testimony of their will to survive against the odds. Many of their
relatives who arrived at Westerbork were deported to Auschwitz or
to Sobibor, where they were murdered. The book also delves into the
question of how the Nazis created their Jew/Non-Jew dichotomy. They
wanted the question of who should count as a Jew to be clear-cut,
and often this was not the case as the twists and turns of this
story demonstrate.
Karen's strange new life starts when wakes up in a strange place,
with a strange man, and wearing strange clothes. The image she sees
in a mirror reflects an older version of herself. When she learns
that she is no longer seventeen years old, but twenty-two, her
family determines that she has amnesia. It doesn't take Karen long
to realize that the truth is much more disconcerting; she shifts
through time. While she was five years into her future, an older
Karen had taken her place as a seventeen year old. Although the
shifts were never predictable, a frightening change occurs when
they become new and unknown to even the future Karen. Not only is
time behaving erratically, the lives of Karen's future family are
in mortal danger and only she can prevent a tragic outcome.
