Boy it took me some time to finish this one! Had me crying at the end - thank God everyone lived.
I don't want to give to much away - this starts up where the other book ends - but we see it through the eyes of a Dutch girl - she had a good childhood - loving parents - Pieter ...who was killed trying to save the books from being burnt by the Muslims.
Her mother marries a dear family friend that they knew all along, he was Muslim - he becomes the chief of police after the Muslims take over.
It deals with the underground, resistant fighting, sailing, surviving, romance, spy, you name it -the book had it.
I really got more into it - when it was the relationship between Khazan and Salima - and seeing them play off each other. I really enjoyed the background to Khazan's childhood and education also -
One thing that I feel the need to point out - the Muslim's don't have to go to war in Europe - for a country to grow our stay the same the birth rate has to be over 2.0 - and the Europeans - are 1.3 - their nations are dying from them not reproducing - like it or not. It is what it is. I think that one day Europe and the world is going to look much different, for better or for worse, than it once did.
