Description

Set in the quaint fishing capital of Scheveningen in The Hague, Jaap van der Zwan tells a moving and gripping story about the fishing empire, Hollandia, that his powerful Dutch ancestors built before the Great War even broke until the Second World War threatens his country. Brackish Waters leads its readers to the cold and hard life of the fishermen at sea and the fear and longing that accompany their wives and children as they brave the waters of the North Sea and beyond-bet it in wartime or peacetime. This first of the trilogy reveals the political influences the Van der Zwan family cultivates and exercises to ensure that the heart of the herring industry thrives and survives even during the Great Depression until Hitler's reign in Germany. Too, it details the changes that the fishing industry has experienced throughout the early years of the twentieth century. And what's more? The drama that surrounds the Van der Zwan family completes the soul of this novel that will define their life, dreams, and death. It paints in glowing terms the threat of the approaching danger of Nazi Germany. Bound by suspense, this is a true story, in which besides hate and love, passions and treason, sorrow and courage are interwoven. Brackish Water symbolizes the life of this Dutch family, where the sweetness of success merges with the bitterness of all tears shed in years gone by until it becomes Brackish Water.
