In the Shadow of the Cathedral
by Titia Bozuwa

In the Shadow of the Cathedral casts you back to Holland during the German occupation and Allied liberation through the perceptive eyes of a young girl. The story opens with Titia’s grandmother shielding her from bullets flying overhead, and builds to a finale with General Eisenhower giving her a reassuring wave outside Allied Headquarters in Breda.

The author recounts arrestingly poignant, disturbing and often-humorous vignettes of life during war time, and the difficult, soul-searching decisions everyone was forced to make. And, through all the devastation, Titia stayed focused on the Cathedral, a constant reminder of the sacred amid the chaos of war, offering her a glimpse of the divine and a sense of peace.

As the generation that endured World War II fades from view, Titia Wetselaar Bozuwa presents a vivid picture of the people that made up her world, and the innocent clarity of her perspective makes In the Shadow of the Cathedral a work that speaks brilliantly to both young and old readers. Click here to read an excerpt from the book.
