vivdunstan: Photo of some of my books (books)
[personal profile] vivdunstan
Just read and enjoyed The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas, set in Holland in 1672. It’s remarkably short by his standards, but I found it compelling and tightly written. The tale of a mild mannered tulip grower who gets caught up in the fallout from violent real life Dutch political events (this bit is very gruesome: be warned), while at the same time trying to grow a fabled black tulip. There’s also romance, and intrigue galore. Recommended.
