I Am Rembrandt's Daughter

By Lynn Cullen

Book Description

For fans of Girl with a Pearl Earring, the moving story of Rembrandt's daughter

With her mother dead and her brother newly married, Cornelia van Rijn is without a friend or confidante-save her difficult father, Rembrandt van Rijn. Once revered, is now teetering on the brink of madness. Cornelia alone must care for him, though she herself is haunted by secrets and scandal.

Her only happiness comes in chance meetings with Carel, the son of a shipping magnate. And then there is Neel, her father's last remaining pupil, whose steadfast devotion to Rembrandt both baffles and touches her.

Based on historical fact, and filled with family dramas and a love triangle that would make Jane Austen proud, I Am Rembrandt's Daughter is a powerful account of a young woman's coming of age in the shadow of one of the world's most brilliant and complicated artists.
