“The best historical novel I’ve read since The Nightingale.” -Cassidy, Goodreads

“I have read many war books – WW1 and WW2 – and this is possibly one of the best about the Second World War that I’ve read. It’s hard to put into words why … I implore you to read this and hopefully you’ll know what I mean. There aren’t the words to give this the recognition it deserves, it is simply spellbinding.” - BooksByYourBedside.org

“I’m not sure where to start with this review but ‘WOW’ seems to be a good place… this book blew me away… I couldn’t read it quickly enough… I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Thank you Buzzy for writing this book and telling Hannie’s story. It will stay with me for the rest of my life.” - Lucy

“This is definitely a book I want on my bookshelf to pass down the generations.” - fiction_book _reviews

“No movie thriller could be more heartstoppingly chilling… in my opinion, one of the most authentic and thought-provoking Holocaust novels in print today.” - Susan

“An inspiring book with an immense amount of research. The story is emotional, one minute I would feel terrified that they would be caught and then the next feel elated they had achieved what they set out to do. This is one of those books that will be with me for a long time.” - Dee

what authors are saying:

“An unforgettable alloy of death and hope, To Die Beautiful is a heartrending and breath-stopping novel of resistance: the more so for being the essence of truth.”

- Elizabeth Wein, #1 NY Times bestselling author of Code Name Verity

“This isn’t just a brilliant novel, it’s a measuring stick you’ll use determine what lengths you would go to protect those you love. How much would you risk and how much could you possibly endure? The legendary Hannie Schaft set the bar for all of us. We may not make it to her heights, but this inspiring book will expand our awareness of what’s possible, and haunt you in the best possible way.”

—Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of The Many Daughters of Afong Moy

“I wish I’d written To Die Beautiful.”

— Alan Furst, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Soldiers novels

“To Die Beautiful brings Hannie alive and I finished it in almost one gulp! What an amazing, inspiring, true-life hero she was. Her youth, her red-headed beauty, her innocence and her ferocity. This is a story about a young girl fighting with all her life against fascism. As the first-hand memories of WWII are soon fading, we need story-tellers like Buzzy Jackson to carry them on. There is an urgency at this time to remember and acknowledge how women have stepped up and will step up to the fight. And we need just these kinds of books to give voice to the women who for so long were muted in the official accounts. An engrossing read.”

Gwen Strauss, The Nine: The True Story of a Band of Women Who Survived the Worst of Nazi Germany
