“I couldn’t put down this richly depicted story, full of beautifully defined characters, in which fiction and fact are seamlessly woven together by Richard Kluger. The moral dilemma of the peaceable Danish people under Nazi occupation is seen through the eyes of a sensitive American teenager trapped far from home but sympathetically surrounded by a family of formidable relatives – especially his sexy, courageous guardian angel, Aunt Rikki, whose struggle to defy her country’s conquerors while preserving her honor all but steals the show. Hamlet’s Children deserves to be on everyone’s reading list.”
— Julianna Margulies, award-winning actress, producer and author of a memoir, Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life
