Aidan Chambers Books Postcard's From No Man's Land. 4Q, 4P Winner of the 2003 Michael L. Printz Award Jacob is 17, and visiting Amsterdam for the first time - to meet a woman who sheltered his soldier grandfather in World War II as she lies on her deathbed. Geertrui was 19 when British soldiers fought against the Nazis to liberate her Netherlands town. She never expected to fall in love with a wounded soldier, and never realized how complicated things could be. As Geertrui nears her physician assisted suicide, both she and Jacob will have to grapple with a wide range of issues, in 1995 and in 1945.
