I don’t usually read historical novels, but I was eager to read The Edge of the Earth by Christina Schwarz because I have always had a fascination for lighthouses, and the cover of this book drew me to it immediately. The book tells the story of Trudy, a young woman who abandons the life that […]

I hadn’t thought about it when doing this shot, but it has a message, much as the Dutch masters offered. In this case the title might be “Death by two means”.
