This Faithful Book

An ordinary task like grocery shopping becomes far from ordinary when there are warplanes roaring and diving overhead. From 1942 to 1945 Madzy Brender � Brandis recorded what life was like for herself and her two small children in the Netherlands during the German occupation. She was writing this account for her husband Wim, a demobilized army officer who was then in a prisoner-of-war camp, to read on his return. Her acute eye and graphic writing style create a vivid picture of the lives of civilians during wartime.

O sarcina obisnuita, cum ar fi cumparaturile alimentare, devine departe de a fi obisnuita atunci cand avioanele de razboi urla si scufunda deasupra capului. Din 1942 pana in 1945 Madzy Brender - Brandis a inregistrat cum a fost viata ei si a celor doi copii mici ai ei in Olanda in timpul ocupatiei germane.
