The Dutch Wife
by Ellen KeithIn this remarkably assured and utterly compelling debut novel, Ellen Keith has written a sweeping story with the broad appeal of Jennifer Robson, the sophistication of Amor Towles, and the lyrical craftsmanship of Anthony Doerr. From the Netherlands to Germany to Argentina, The Dutch Wife braids together the stories of three individuals who share a dark secret and are entangled in two of the most oppressive reigns of terror in modern history. This is a novel about the blurred lines between love and lust, abuse and resistance, and right and wrong, as well as the capacity for ordinary people to persevere and do the unthinkable in extraordinary circumstances.
