Well worth the read!
This is a well written work of historical fiction. Having visited the city of Delft recently, I was excited to read about many familiar places that are still there today. The story was intriguing, especially since it is written from the point of view of a 16 year old girl.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
