![]() Unfortunately, she does not get pregnant and Sieger and his friends mock the family and the relationship is ended.Ĭhristof Anijs was the assistant to one of the pharmacists in the town. This allows him to determine whether she is fertile before marriage. In accordance wtih custom, he comes into her bedroom at night. Pet’s daughter, Johanna is courted by another poor man, Sieger. Though there is a doctor in Hoogeveen for the poor, he is fairly ineffective but, fortunately, the local pharmacist, Christof Anijs, is very helpful. There are, of course, other poor peat diggers there. They decide to move and find out that there is a peat bog just outside Hoogeveen, where they can build a shack on free land and dig up peat, so they move there. However, this is becoming increasingly difficult, much harder work and with little reward. They have been making their living by dredging for peat. We start with a Jewish family, the Bennemins, headed by Pet Bennemin. It is set in the late nineteenth century, primarily in the Dutch towns of Amsterdam and Hoogeveen. This is certainly the case with this book. Thomas Rosenboom’s general modus operandi is historical fiction with characters caught up in something beyond their control.
