The Girl with the Red Hair

Perfect for fans of Kate Quinn's The Rose Code, this gripping novel of courage and loyalty brings the unsung true story of WWII's greatest heroine Hannie Schaft to life. Inspiring, empowering, and timely, it is compellingly detailed and impressively researched. Better still, it's an immersive story of a terrifying warren of history through which our guide is the sort of hero we all need right now: relatable, resolute, and absolutely right. Laurie Frankel, New York Times bestselling author of This Is How It Always Is, describes it as "an intriguing story that keeps you captivated till the end. A true hero!"

In 1940, Amsterdam, you're nineteen years old. The war has stolen your future, and your country is under siege. The people you love are no longer safe. Will you stand aside as the menace of Nazi evil tightens its grip on your homeland? Or do you unleash your fury, joining forces with your enemies' enemies, plotting to strike? Because if not you, then who? You're drawn deep into a web of plots, disguises, and assassinations. The Resistance trained you for this. You flash your enemies a smile and beckon them closer. Little do they know you've grown used to the weight of a gun in your hand. Soon, they will all know your name.

This is a tale of formidable defiance told through the eyes of a young heroine so notorious that Hitler himself personally ordered her capture. Buzzy Jackson's debut is an unputdownable novel of love, loyalty, and the limits we confront when our deepest values are tested. "The Girl with the Red Hair brings Hannie alive, and I finished it in almost one gulp! What an amazing, inspiring, true-life hero she was... An engrossing read," says Gwen Strauss, author of The Nine.

An inspiring book with an immense amount of research, it's one of those books that will be with me for a long time. A mixture of emotions, from feeling hopeful to a pit of your stomach fear, from heartwarming to heartbreaking. A book I want on my bookshelf too.
