Set in 17th-century Amsterdam & Indonesia, The Company Daughters tells the story of two young women who enlist as Company Daughters for the Dutch East India Company. This book ended up surprising me in the best possible way. What I thought would be a more-or-less generic historical romance turned out to be so much more. It is a beautiful yet heart-breaking story about healing, opening oneself up to love, & finding hope, even in the darkest of times.
