One of my nonfiction favs! #LetterF #AlphabetGame
This at the front of my newest read. I love these quotes. #inspiration #Audreyhepburn #orsinwelles #perspectives
Ultimately this was worth reading, but it‘s not as much about Audrey Hepburn‘s life during WWII as you might think. There is a lot of detail about her family and about the war in Holland. I know all that contributed to who she became, but I didn‘t expect quite so much of it. #audiowalk
A little over two hours left in this book. So far, Audrey Hepburn‘s participation in the resistance has been minimal — there are a couple of stories that took maybe 10 minutes each to tell — and the war is almost over. I suspect this story wouldn‘t even be told if this were an average person and not Audrey Hepburn. #audiowalk
Now I‘m concerned about the historical accuracy of this book. There‘s discussion of Anne Frank that, while it doesn‘t outright say that, implies that she died at Auschwitz. She was sent there, but my memory was that she and her sister, Margot, were transferred to Bergen-Belsen and died there. Everything I can find, including the Anne Frank House website indicates that‘s the case. If the author didn‘t catch this, an editor should have. #audiowalk
Dutch Girl is my new walking book. It‘s interesting, but I‘m having a little trouble with the organization. One minute Audrey Hepburn is 11 and living in Holland; the next she‘s 21 and living in London; then the next chapter, she‘s back in Holland and is 12. #audiowalk
TH: my modern-day Jimmy Stewart!
