Abstract
Magdalena is the wife of Pieter van Bayeren, director of the Company East Indies in Delft. She tells us about her life as wife and homemaker, confiding all her heart.
Felt
Both say right away, this novel is rather sad. It depicts the life indeed Magdalena van Bayeren, daughter of former director of the East India Company. This young woman was formed to trade, but in this society, women have any designated place at home.
She chose to be represented on a picture back, and the story begins there, in explaining his choice. His life is full of surprises, joyful as well as sad, and one can easily imagine this woman in the end.
What makes the sadness of this book is the end. Let's avoid you spoiler, but the fate of Magdalena thought-provoking on the place of men and women in society, besides being pleasant.
