‘My Sins Go With Me’ by Martin Sixsmith

Book cover shows book title with photos of people down the right hand side contemporary to WW2

A chance meeting with Martin Sixsmith in 2019 led to Anna-Maria telling him her story.  In Dutch and German archives, interviews with survivors, personal diaries and contentious memoirs by those with things to hide, Sixsmith came across a drama on a scale he could never have imagined.

Group Review:  The average score for this novel was 7.5/10 with a range of scores from 6/10 to 9/10. Members remarked on how much they had learned about what happened in the Netherlands during WWII and questioned "What would I have done in the same circumstances?".
