Description

Amidst the vibrant city of Amsterdam in 1654, a young widow's life is threatened by a long-held secret. Following her husband's sudden death, Catrin takes a job as housekeeper to the successful Van Nulandt merchant family, seeking a fresh start. As she navigates the city's thriving arts and commerce scene, a figure from her past emerges, forcing her to flee to Delft. There, her painting talent earns her a chance to work as a pottery painter, where she helps create a revolutionary new type of pottery that will become synonymous with the city's name. As tragedy strikes, Catrin is faced with a difficult choice. Rich in atmosphere and historical depth, Midnight Blue is a gripping tale of love, loss, and the power of art to shape our lives.
