#24BooksIn24Days #Dec8 This year in July Marga Minco died at 103. Her debut Het bittere kruid ("Bitter herbs") from 1957 tells about the occupation of the Netherlands in episodes about a Jewish family. The protagonist is the only one who survives in hiding. The story is very close to Minco's own.

I read the book in the German translation by Marlene Müller-Haas.
