Description - Postcards from No Man's Land by Mr Aidan Chambers

Aidan Chambers' stunning Carnegie Medal-winning novel weaves together a contemporary coming-of-age story of 17-year-old Jacob with his grandfather's story from WWII Holland.

Jacob arrives in Holland, aged 17, travelling alone for the first time. He is there for the commemoration of the Second World War Battle of Arnhem, where his grandfather had fought. Jacob's exploration of contemporary Amsterdam and the fascinating people he meets there interweaves with the passionate story about his grandfather he learns from Geertrui, an elderly lady whose family is linked to Jacob's in a way he never suspected. A beautiful, multi-layered novel about love, discovery and betrayal, which will enrapture young adult readers.
