Another amazing book from Cobi van Baars. The characters are so believable and the reader can't help but feel for them. The characters carry the plot along rather than the other way around. Often that doesn't work, but here it really does. The plot is not really unexpected and yet you want to keep reading to find out what happens next.
The book is easy to read and yet I had to look up several words (draalden, terdege, amechtig).
In the end, you are also left with a feeling of anger for what the nuns did to people like that in that time. This book might be fiction, but we know that in regions where the Catholic Church had political power, that sort of thing happened with a startling frequency.
