NEW NOVEL SET IN THE NETHERLANDS

Rhiannon van der Munnik is a women's fiction author and just released her debut novel, TULIP DAYS, a few weeks ago. About the book: Seraphina, a twenty four year old poet from California, has never doubted that she loves her Dutch husband, or that she will spend the rest of her life with him. But when his job brings them to the Netherlands, an introduction to her husband's childhood friend (Jakob, a charming violinist) leads to a series of events which force Seraphina to ask herself if the life she has is truly the one she wants. Spanning nearly a decade, TULIP DAYS delves into the aftermath of her decision, and paints a carefully constructed portrait of a young woman attempting to bloom amidst the raw and foreign landscape of Holland.
