About this listen

 Set against the backdrop of turn-of-the-century Dutch aristocracy, the second volume of the Books of the Small Souls quartet picks up where the first left off. Constance Van der Welcke returns to The Hague after two decades of exile due to a scandalous affair in Rome. Yearning for acceptance from her family and the elite society she once knew, Constance and her husband Henri find themselves estranged and resigned to a life away from societal ambitions. As they seek solace in new friendships—Henri with Constances spirited niece, Marianne, and Constance with Henris quirky old friend, Max Brauws—they embark on transformative journeys of self-discovery. (Summary by Phil Benson) The original in Dutch can be found in our catalogue Dutch Version
