From the Publisher:
From the acclaimed British sensation, Mal Peet (Keeper), comes a masterful story of adventure, love, secrets, and betrayal in time of war, both past and present. Tamar was awarded the prestigious Carnegie Medal in 2006.
From the Author:
Tamar was inspired, in part, by the experiences of a friend's father who had been a British secret agent in the Second World War. His reminiscences kindled my interest in codes, puzzles, identities and the often poisonous effects of secrecy.
