dutch novel translated into English. NYC during ww2, a young boy whose brother has volunteered to join the army makes deliveries to a Mr Orange - an artist who he can ask his strangest questions of and deal with the conflict the dangers of the war brings to his family. short but tasty.
Lovely YA novel about a young man in WWII NYC whose older brother goes off to war, and who meets the painter Piet Mondrian. Really interesting exploration of the importance of imagination, the impact of war on families, and the trials of growing up. Very well written - I'm glad I found this one!
