Sylvia van Geelen is a bit of a mystery. She has been a high school teacher since she left school herself. She had the reputation of a strict but fair teacher. Her teaching methods were so revolutionary at the time, she was asked to speak at an international teachers’ convention in Liege, Belgium.
Sylvia de Groen-van Geelen is 61 year and five months old at the start of the story. They live in a quiet converted farm in the province Drenthe, the Netherlands.
She is a very strong and social woman. She would have been perfect, but in books nobody is perfect, right? Koen describes his marriage as ESAC, an Extremely Sexually Active Couple. And certainly is applicable to Sylvia.
