Items related to The Dutch Maiden
It's 1936. Tensions are mounting as Europe slides towards another war and eighteen year old Janna is making her troubled way towards adulthood. Janna's father sends her from her home in the Netherlands to train with Egon von Botticher, an aristocratic fencing master in Germany. Botticher is as eccentric as his training methods but the pupil soon finds herself falling for her master. Botticher, however, is not all that he appears to be and Janna must discover the true nature of her father's mysterious relationship with him.
Dark and animalistic, with echoes of John Fowles' The Magus, The Dutch Maiden follows Janna as she comes of age, attempting to solve the riddle of her father's past and trying to avoid the tangled web of European politics as Germany marches towards Nazism and war.

Review:
"It's not hard to see why this novel was awarded the 2014 European Union Prize for Literature. It's a story of dark and dangerous passions, beautifully and dramatically bringing to life the very different inner journeys of its two main characters." --Herald Scotland
From the Back Cover:
In the summer of 1936, Janna, a young Dutch fencer, is sent away to stay with her father’s old friend, a German, Egon von Bötticher. Egon had returned injured and embittered from the front at the end of the First World War, and now teaches fencing, and organizes bloody duels. In this strange world, Janna, intrigued by her unfeeling maître d'armes, starts looking for answers. What happened between Egon and her father? Which of them has to settle old scores?
