An enchanting read, about a young widow who leaves her little farming village and heads for the big city. Will she find work and love there, and finally be able to leave her past behind her? Set in The Netherlands in the plague-ridden 17th century, this story touches on the beginnings of the incredible blue and white Delft pottery and, weaving fact with fiction, tells the tale of one woman’s fate.

I was gifted this book by a lovely lady called Susan when we met at the WBRL Genre Jumpers book club evening.
