Produktbeschreibung

With her mother dead of the plague and her brother newly married, Cornelia van Rijn finds herself without a friend or confidante--except her difficult father. Out of favor with Amsterdam's elite, the once revered Rembrandt van Rijn is now teetering on the brink of madness. Cornelia alone must care for him, though she is haunted by secrets and scandal of her own. Her only happiness comes in a growing romance with Carel, the son of a wealthy shipping magnate, whose passion for art stirs her. And then there is Neel, her father's last remaining pupil, a darkly brooding young man whose steadfast devotion to Rembrandt both baffles and touches her.

Based on real characters and filled with family dramas and a love triangle that would make Jane Austen proud, "I Am Rembrandt's Daughter" is a powerful account of a young woman's struggle to come of age within the shadow of one of the world's most brilliant and complicated artists.
