Story of strong women
who immigrate to New Zealand from the gloomy post war Holland. their quest to find a better life is highly intriguing and emotional - very recommended to all women out there.
A captivating tale
the story (that as far as I understand is based on a true story) is really extraordinary. I could not help shedding a tear or two... really emotional.
