Angels of the resistance

Noelle Salazar

Book - 2022

"As bombs fall across Europe, fourteen-year-old Lien Vinke fears that the reality of war is inescapable. Though she lives a quiet life with her mother and older sister, Elif, in their small town of Haarlem, they are no strangers to heartache, having recently suffered an immeasurable loss. And when the Nazis invade the Netherlands, joining the Dutch resistance with Elif offers just the atonement Lien craves. Trained to shoot by their late father, the sisters are deadly wolves in sheep's clothing. They soon find themselves entrenched in the underground movement, forging friendships with the other young recruits, and Lien even discovers a kindred spirit in a boy named Charlie. But in wartime, emotional attachments are a liability she... can't afford, especially when a deeply personal mission jeopardizes everything she holds dear--her friendships, her family, and her one shot at redemption"--

Review by Library Journal Review

When the German army invades the Netherlands during World War II, Lien's older sister is drafted into the Dutch resistance, and Lien insists on joining, too, partly to assuage guilt over the accident that killed their baby sister. Soon they're leaning on their sweet-girl looks to move about easily as they collect information, hide Jewish families, and lure top German military to their deaths. With a 175,000-copy paperback and 10,000-copy hardcover first printing.
