A Foolish Virgin by Ida Simons is a poignant portrayal of familial strife set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in history. In 1920s Holland, Gittel navigates the complexities of her own identity and relationships, as she struggles to find her place within her family. As Gittel forms connections with the wealthy Mardell family, she begins to learn valuable lessons about trust and betrayal. However, these friendships prove fleeting, leaving her to confront the harsh realities of life. Meanwhile, her father's business ventures take a disastrous turn, threatening the stability of their lives. Through its fluid and casual style, this novel offers a powerful exploration of a young girl's loss of innocence in a dark and dramatic period. Translated from the Dutch by Liz Waters.
