About This Book
A wedding in a busy Dutch town becomes a flashpoint between private joy and public hostility, as a curious crowd mocks the couple and exposes anti-Jewish prejudice. Inside the coach the newlyweds experience intimate tenderness while outside social contempt and a boy’s taunt make clear communal bias. At home the bride confronts a violent paternal refusal of the marriage, revealing entrenched family bigotry and a passive stepmother’s presence. Increasingly agitated by an impending childbirth, the bride unsettles a physician who frets over possible complications, weaving together domestic tension, social intolerance, and personal vulnerability.
