Winter in Wartime

Winter in Wartime is written by Jan Terlouw.
It is a story about World War ll and the lives of some people affected by it. These people lived in Holland. They were under curfew and to be inside their home by 8PM at night and all lights were to be out. People put black paper at their windows and burned candles or carbide lamps. They were hungry because most of the food stuff was taken by the German army. They had dug 1 man fox holes along the roads so that if planes flew over shooting they could jump in them. They either walked everywhere or rode bicycles with wooden tires.
Michiel was a 16 yr old boy whose father was the Mayor. Their house was always full of people as if they were going from one town to another and could not reach it before curfew they knocked on the door and came in and slept on floor and were given shares of what ever food they had. He had a little 6 year old brother and an older sister.
Get the book to learn how Michiel's father and 4 others were killed and how Michiel and his sister tended to a British Pilot's wounds and kept him hid for months. Read how Michiel smuggled two men across the river and how he found out  who was giving information to the Germans.
I really liked this book since I like historical novels and would recomend it to others.
