Een Schitterend Gebrek by Arthur Japin
Set in the 18th century, this poignant novel delves into the life of Lucia, a woman who once captivated the heart of the young Giacomo Casanova. After a disfiguring illness, she chooses to disappear from his life, believing her altered appearance would only bring him shame. Years later, they cross paths in Amsterdam, where Lucia, now a courtesan, reflects on love, beauty, and the choices that define one's destiny. Through her journey, the story explores themes of identity, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love, challenging the societal norms of beauty and worth.
