Books like The Dutch Girl by Donna Thorland
Set in 1778 Manhattan and the Hudson River Valley, *The Dutch Girl* weaves a tale of loyalty, betrayal, and romance amid rising tensions between the British, the American rebels, and the feudal Dutch patroons who own the valley’s vast estates. Dispossessed heir Gerrit Van Haren quests to seize Harenwyck from his brutish brother, even if it means allying with the British. He stumbles across Anna Winters, a devoted rebel and former, nameless teacher whose past as a tenant farmer’s daughter links her to the very rebellion she now champions. Their paths converge, forcing every character to confront the conflict between personal desire and the collective struggle for independence.
