2006 WINNER: TAMAR
by MAL PEET
This is an enthralling and multi-layered
novel that traces the story of two men caught up in secret operations in
World War Two. It looks at the negative impact that war has on those
involved and on succeeding generations. Guilt and its ramifications lie at
the heart of this well-written and serious novel that skilfully
interweaves past and present.
‘When her grandfather dies, Tamar inherits a box containing a series
of clues and coded messages. Out of the past another Tamar emerges; a man
involved in the resistance in Nazi occupied Holland 50 years earlier. As
the younger Tamar unravels his story, her own life is transformed.’ |
