Astonishing. Van Es has created a masterpiece of history and memoir, concluding on a note of reconciliation, hope and great love
Astonishing. Van Es has created a masterpiece of history and memoir, concluding on a note of reconciliation, hope and great love
An extraordinary, harrowing story of loss, survival and love
Deeply moving, this is a remarkable memoir
Powerful . . . extraordinary
Brought to life with family photographs and diary entries that add further impact to Lien's harrowing memories and testimony - this deeply affecting and fascinating story is guaranteed to haunt you
Remarkable - the story of one traumatic childhood, deeply moving, and told with great dexterity, allowing the wisdoms of today to run parallel with the absorbing narrative of wartime events
Compassionate and thoughtfully rendered, the book is both a memorable portrait of a remarkable woman and a testament to the healing power of understanding. A complex and uplifting tale
A nuanced, moving, and unusual "hidden child" account
Superb. This is a necessary book - painful, harrowing, tragic, but also uplifting
Fascinating, beautifully written. Van Es carefully salvages Lien's story and creates a deeply moving and complex book about war, atrocity and human suffering
Sensational and gripping . . . shedding light on some of the most urgent issues of our time
Luminous, elegant, haunting - I read it straight through
Deeply moving. Writes with an almost Sebaldian simplicity and understatement
Harrowing and beautiful
An awe-inspiring account of the tragedies and triumphs within the world of the Holocaust's "hide-away" children, and of the families who sheltered them
The Cut Out Girl is a reminder of the extraordinary richness of archives and the treasures released by scholarly research
An extraordinary story, harrowing, deeply affecting. This fascinating story is guaranteed to haunt you
A moving story of personal and family history, with a scholar's objective eye for the bigger picture.
Harrowing . . . profoundly moving
