A sensitive innocent, Hendrickje Stoffels escapes the harsh
realities of her garrison home-town to take up a servant's role in
Rembrandt's household. She soon becomes his lover and closest
confidante, and plays witness to the highs and lows of the great
artist's life. But Hendrickje is fated to discover the hypocrisy
and greed of society in Amsterdam's Golden Age. In sensuous prose,
Matton paints a powerful fictional portrait of this impassioned
relationship through the eyes of a remarkable woman.
