About the Book

LA RESISTENCIA LA ADORA.

LOS NAZIS LA TEMEN.

Basada en la historia real de amor y lealtad de Hannie Schaft, La joven del pelo rojo es una novela sobre los límites a los que nos enfrentamos cuando se ponen a prueba nuestros valores.

Ámsterdam, 1940. Hannie es una estudiante de diecinueve años y, a pesar de que vive en la Holanda ocupada, tiene grandes ambiciones de futuro. No obstante, no tarda en descubrir que, mientras el fascismo se extiende por su país, sus seres queridos ya no están a salvo, y no puede quedarse de brazos cruzados ante la maldad y la injusticia.

Movida por el amor y la indignación, se une a la Resistencia y descubre en su interior una ferocidad que la empuja a usar todas sus armas, protegiéndose tras la fachada de su sensualidad, para ejecutar a sus enemigos. Y aunque su humanidad se resiente, Hannie encuentra una nueva familia entre sus compañeros y se enamora perdidamente de uno de los rebeldes.

Conforme se adentra en un mundo de conspiraciones, engaños y asesinatos, los rumores corren como la pólvora entre enemigos y aliados. Todos saben de su existencia, pero desconocen su nombre: para ellos es «la joven del pelo rojo». Una rival digna ante cualquier nazi. Una auténtica amenaza. Y un objetivo a abatir.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A heartrending novel based on a true story of love, loyalty, and the limits we confront when our deepest values are tested, by award-winning writer Buzzy Jackson

How far would you go to protect the people and country you love?

It's 1940 and Hannie Schaft is a shy nineteen-year-old law student living in the Nazi-occupied Netherlands with ambitious goals for her future. But dreams die in wartime, and Hannie's closest friends are no longer safe as fascism insidiously rises in her country. Hiding them is not enough. Hannie may be young but she can't stand aside as the menace of Nazi evil tightens its grip. Driven by love and moral outrage, Hannie soon becomes an armed member of the Dutch Resistance movement.

Hannie discovers her own untapped ferocity--wearing lipstick and heels to lure powerful Nazis close and assassinate them at point-blank range and bombing munitions factories. As humanity collapses around her, Hannie finds a chosen family of friends within the Resistance and falls in love with a dashing fellow resister at a tremendous cost. Her greatest weapon is her determination to "stay human" (blijf menselijk) . . . a promise increasingly difficult to keep.

As Hannie is drawn deeper into a web of plots, disguises and assassinations, whispers spread like wildfire among enemy and friend alike. They all know of her, if not her name: she's "the Girl with Red Hair." A match for any Nazi soldier. A true threat. And a target.

To Die Beautiful is a timely look at how fascism flourishes and what good people do to fight back. Based on real events, To Die Beautiful is told with the drama and emotional resonance of meticulously researched history.
About the Author: Buzzy Jackson ha recibido varios premios como autora por su obra de no ficción y obtuvo un doctorado en Historia en la universidad de Berkeley. Se le ha concedido la Edith Wharton Writing Residency y actualmente forma parte del National Book Critics' Circle. Colabora con el Boston Globe y BookForum. Sacó la inspiración para escribir La joven del pelo rojo, su primera novela, tras visitar el Museo de la Resistencia en Ámsterdam. Allí descubrió la historia de Hannie Shaft, quien con tan solo diecinueve años abandonó la universidad para plantar cara al fascismo, convirtiéndose así en la mujer más buscada en Holanda durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
