I couldn‘t sleep last night so I pulled out my kindle and read this short novella. It was a perfect choice as it is a gentle and touching story of a Jewish child who is hidden in Belgium during World War II. Despite its subject matter, it was neither saccharine nor overly sentimental, nor filled with horror. Instead it is a book about hope and sacrifice and the goodness of many everyday people. It was a perfect read for the current climate.
