Such a beautiful love letter to The Dutch Golden Age, to Carel Fabritius and to all our fathers. Great timing as well: Exactly when I was thinking about my future and judging my past. I might return and re-read this book after ten years or so and see how I would feel... @lauracummingart.bsky.social

various revelations are fascinating. Despite the terrible events/long kept secrets, it is wonderful that some people lived long enough to pass on memories (to say nothing of vocal records/the final heartbreaking handwritten message.) A truly amazing, beautifully written memoir-cum-detective story4/4
