Book
Midnight blue / Simone van der Vlugt ; translated by Jenny Watson.
A gripping story of ambition and heartbreak set against the fascinating backdrop of the Dutch Golden Age. Amsterdam, 1654: twenty-five year old Catrin leaves her small village and takes a job as housekeeper to the successful Van Nulandt merchant family. When an unwelcome figure from her past threatens her new life, Catrin flees to Delft. There, her painting talent earns her a chance to try out as a pottery painter. Slowly, the workshop begins to develop a new type of pottery to rival the coveted Chinese porcelain - and Delft Blue is born. But when tragedy strikes, Catrin has a hard choice to make.
