(1) YA Seventeen-year-old Jacob visits the family in Amsterdam that helped his grandfather during WWII. As he hears bits and pieces of a gripping story about a love affair between the young maiden, Geertrui, and an English soldier, Jacob recognizes himself in his grandparents and in the now-terminally-ill Geertrui, as well as in various companions and lovers. The reader closes the novel resolved not to prettify human choices, nor simplify them.
