Living under Nazi occupation - Winter in Wartime review by LR
The wartime setting in Holland is well recreated. Living under Nazi occupation the Dutch people are forced to co-operate, or collaborate, or resist.
This can cause tensions within families and it is at the core of this story. The characters are well acted and the story unfolds at a good pace. Some plot developments concerning the uncle are less credible, or this would be 5-star material - but they are really minor flaws. Well worth catching.
