Dutch Girl: Audrey Hepburn and World War II | Robert Matzen

pick

#JumpStart2025 #Read2025

I did better with the lit part of #FoodAndLit #Netherlands as I ran out of time to cook anything. The imported food section of my grocery store did have this peppermint licorice candy which I‘ll review below. Making this post while taking an errand break of this #SaturdayChatterday for coffee, breakfast & some #LitsyLove correspondence.

About the book: I‘ve long been an admirer of Audrey Hepburn & that increased with ⬇️

DieAReader, Lizpixie, Texreader, Catsandbooks

DebinHawaii …this well-told story of her childhood in the Netherlands & what her family went through during WWII. It was a unique perspective & engrossing, explaining a lot about how that horrible experience shaped Audrey. The author did a lot of research & interviews & it made for a compelling read. This is the third book I read in January that dealt with Nazis & other fascists & I think I need to hold off on the subject the next month or two! 😵‍💫⬇️ (edited) 3d

DebinHawaii It‘s just too close to home right now! 😳Pairing it with food is a little difficult since the lack of food for Audrey & her family in 1945 led to malnutrition & life-long issues for the actress. The licorice ice I bought is called schoolkrijt or krijtjes & wasn‘t invented until the 1960s. I‘m not a big licorice fan but the peppermint softens the taste. Overall, not bad. I bought cheese too & will try to share it later on. (edited) 3d

Catsandbooks Great review! 🇳🇱❤️ 3d

BarbaraBB Licorice is so Dutch! The ones you‘ve bought we call “blackboard chalks” and are pretty addicting I think 😀 2d

Nelnjali I just joined :) Found out I could download it on my phone through the browser, even though it's not on the Play store. 5d

Nelnjali Here's my link if you'd like to add me. The link you posted just took me to my profile. 🤷‍♀️ https://tomebooks.com/user/nelnjali 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Nelnjali I can‘t get my profile to link… 5d

AnnCrystal It was intriguing enough for me to create an account... however, I may log in just to delete because I can't figure out how to set up my own code?? Every time I log in I have to go log into my e-mail to get a log-in code?? Maybe I did something wrong?? 5d

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @AnnCrystal the only way I can get on is through facebook… and I still can‘t figure out how to copy and paste my profile… 😩 5d

Nelnjali @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I got my profile link by hitting the button next to "customize" in my profile. 5d

AnnCrystal Unfortunately, I had to delete. Thankfully that was easier than logging into the site...too bad, that looked like a really fun site. Thanks for sharing ☺️📚💝. 5d

Pogue @Nelnjali https://tomebooks.com/user/sheepish-yarn I just follow you. 5d

AnnCrystal Found an info page, https://company.tomebooks.com/

Couldn't resist the whole fantasy theme of this book site! Decided to try the alternative sign up option...still not ideal, yet easier.
