What an amazing book. It is history at its best.

The author covers everything regarding Dutch life and mentality through the ages.

I grew up in Holland in the late 1940’s to the mid 1950’s, my teenage years.

The description and the mentality of the Dutch are spot on.

I don’t want to go into details, just that I highly recommend listening.

The Dutch have a great sense of humor, often not understood/ appreciated by Americans.

The narrator, Mike Cooper, does an amazing job pronouncing the Dutch words.

It is not an easy language to speak.

I am so sorry that it came to an end.

I have listened to other books by Simon Schama and will continue to do so in the future.

My thanks to all involved, JK
