O knihe
Jacob Coesfelt of Delft Hall, Norfolk, was too impulsively good. But how, by meeting Mr Hope's sinister family, could he have foreseen the consequences of his visit? Or know that, years later, the life of his son would alter dramatically? That Delft Hall would be rebuilt, its estate reorganised? The wealthy Dutch merchant, who often deliberates in front of his collection of fine paintings, could never have imagined that even some of his distant descendants would be scarred by their own kin.
Jacob takes comfort from a Vermeer. Few of the family see it. Its glory dips in and out of the story, depending on whether the painting gets retrieved from its changing hiding places in Delft Hall. None who finds it wishes to share its beauty.
Set against historical events and changing attitudes, this multi-voiced novel, spanning generations, is filled with action, distinct characters and captivating stories.
Kith and Kin will leave a lasting imprint on the reader's mind.
