4/5 🌟
Atmospheric, intriguing and a solid debut novel.
Research.
Cute, little book about the history, culture and food of Amsterdam.
Beautiful pictures
Can't believe I'll be there in 6 weeks
I'm not Dutch (even though a Dutch person thought I was) but this is pretty interesting on learning about daily life and the locals
Another fun fact (if true) about our January #foodandlit country #Netherlands. 🤣🤣🤣

This debut novel was beautifully written about the quieter wrongs that took place in Holland affecting Jews during WWII and how long after those wrongs could not wholly be corrected.
Really ??? This was shortlisted for the women‘s prize ? I bought it after listening to a book tuber comparing the authors writing to Sarah waters. Sorry no ! First half is just boring , admittedly it does pick up and has a great twist at the end but sadly not worthy of more stars from me !
I did not know much about this book going in. It was not at all what I expected, but I loved it.
We are past our #foodandlit month for #Netherlands but this little story and painting are too sweet not to share:
