Beskrivning

In the Dutch countryside, the war seems far away - for most people, at least. But not for Ed, a Jew in Nazi-occupied Holland trying to find some safe sanctuary. Compelled to go into hiding in the rural province of Zeeland, he is taken in by a seemingly benevolent family of farmers. But, as Ed comes to realize, the Van't Westeindes are not what they seem. Camiel, the son of the house, is still in mourning for his best friend, a German soldier who committed suicide the year before. And Camiel's fiery, unstable sister Mariete begins to nurse a growing unrequited passion for their young guest, just as Ed realizes his own attraction to Camiel. As time goes by, Ed is drawn into the domestic intrigues around him, and the farmhouse that had begun as his refuge slowly becomes his prison.

The back door yielded to his touch, and he called out, Is anybody there?"" And once again, but nobody heard him; the radio inside drowned out everything. Hesitantly, he tripped over a threshold, stumbling his way over the wooden clogs and sacks that lay strewn across the entryway. The smell of the place was bitter, as if a lot of animals lived there. He was startled by a cat, which soundlessly slipped past him on its way outside. Again he called out but once more with no result. Then he closed the door after him and switched on his flashlight..."" - excerpt from Secretly Inside
