To the Reader,
I know I’m not in a position to ask you a favour, dear reader. Yet I would truly love it if you could decide NOT to read this story. Master Koen and his wife Jutta forced me to confess the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Forgive them, dear reader, for they don’t know what they are asking. Those secrets will hurt them beyond repair. I can’t forbid you to read my story. But I will be forever in your debt if you skip this story and read another book. It’s so much better, trust me.
Thank you,
Sylvia de Groen-van Geelen
