Tamar - Book Review by Rhea

Tamar by Mal Peet

The setting is World War II. Tamar is the code name of a resistance fighter. He and Dart are sent to a town and send messages back to London about the work being done. Tamar continues his relationship with a beautiful woman named Marijke. Tamar's partner, Dart, gets jealous of Tamar and Marijke's relationship because he is in love with Marijke. Between the war and envy, tensions get stronger. The book has two different stories. Tamar's granddaugther goes on a journey that Tamar left for her after he died. She learns not only about her grandfather, but also herself.

This book is amazing. I loved it. I didn't really care for the ending, but the story was still amazing. I didn't want to give away too much because it is so much better when you don't know what is coming!
