Produktinformationen zu „The Seventh Etching (ePub)“
A historic family drama based in and near 1640 Amsterdam, the wealthiest city on earth at the time, The Seventh Etching tells the story of two families over a one-year period. Both Griet and Johannes Verhoeven, farmers, in their early 20s and Jos and Myriam Broekhof, wealthy merchants in their 30s, face devastating losses that threaten their livelihoods and their marriages.
After a major flood, Griet and Johannes attempt to rebuild two combined family farms a unique, promising inheritance that initially brought them together, but now overwhelms them. Myriam secretly sells her husbands valuable art collection to build a hidden monument to her deceased daughter. Jos suffers despair and defeat as he combs every corner of the city in his obsessive attempt to complete a set of playfully erotic etchings.
It is a six-year old Gypsy orphan, Nelleke, who connects the two couples. Sprightly and spirited, Nelleke both delights and exasperates. Might this mysterious child have the power to heal struggling adults and find the permanent home she seeks? Does she, innocently and unknowingly, hold the clue to the missing etching, as Jos suspects?
