Dutch Girl

I'll never think of Audrey Hepburn the same way again after reading this book. Yes, I knew she survived WWII and had a hard time of it, but never realized just how much devastation she faced. While it focuses mostly on wartime, I enjoyed the bits of how the war influenced her future woven in between.

The book has several spots that focus on her mother and other family as well as the Netherlands in general which add to the visual. Extremely well researched and written wonderfully. I could see several scenes vividly. My respect for Audrey as a human being has increased dramatically. A remarkable woman indeed.
