Why read it?
1 author picked Snow on the Tulips as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love how Tolsma sets up a very believable story of a Dutch war widow who ends up harboring a wounded Resistance worker. Although saving him means risking everything and although liberation is within sight, Cornelia’s faith won’t allow her to turn the man out. Fearing their story will end before it even begins, she must make an impossible choice between relative safety for her brother and herself, or joining Gerrit in the Resistance. I learned so much about what the Dutch went through during WWII.
From Terrie's list on relationships between characters on opposing sides of WWII.
