Klappentext

Hendrickje Stoffels is a headstrong woman, set on starting a new life in Amsterdam away from her humble home in Bredevoort, The Netherlands. She arrives on the banks of Amsterdam during the Dutch Golden Age, a period of artistic wonder and prosperity.

Employed as a servant by the esteemed Rembrandt van Rijn in 1647, she soon learns the ropes of her new role, all the while clashing paths with the intolerable Mevrouw.

As Rembrandt's favor shifts from his older mistress to the new servant in the house, tensions soon reach a boiling point. With Mevrouw berating Hendrickje at every turn, she must choose whether to relinquish the man she loves or fight for her happily ever after.

Based on the true story of Rembrandt's love affair with servant Hendrickje Stoffels, this novel explores the dynamic tensions between Rembrandt, Hendrickje, and his former maid and lover, Geertje Dircx.
