Description

From the acclaimed writer of The Drowning People (“A fictional sensation” —The New York Times Book Review) and Organic Factors (“A magnum opus” —The New Yorker), a luxurious, romantic coming-of-age drama set in the peak of Europe’s belle époque, created in the great history with a lightness of touch that's totally contemporary and unique.   The book starts in Amsterdam in the turn of the final millennium. It goes to Ny at that time of the 1907 economic crisis and continues onboard a luxurious ship headed for Cape Area.   It's in regards to a small man—Piet Barol—with an instinctive understanding for something special and enjoyment for discovering it.
