About Donna; Select Page. While I was writing The Dutch Girl I discovered that the 18th century Dutch were known for their rich and inventive cuisine. The more I read about their cooking, the hungrier I got. Many of the dishes we think of as distinctly American—cookies and coleslaw, to name a few—have Dutch origins. · This is my second book by Thorland; I previously reviewed her Mistress Firebrand. Thorland’s writing stands out to me because it’s so rich in detail, and it focuses on historical settings and characters you wouldn’t necessarily think about. The Dutch Girl is set in New York on an estate held by a Dutch “patroon”. Unlike most of America at this time, workers don’t own their own land. · Vivid, evocative, Thorland’s newest novel about the Revolution reminds us that more than one kind of liberty was at stake. Rich in historical detail, overflowing with political intrigue and lost love, The Dutch Girl is a captivating and thought-provoking read.”—Sara Donati, international bestselling author of the Wilderness seriesBrand: Penguin Publishing Group.

This is my second book by Thorland; I previously reviewed her Mistress Firebrand. Thorland’s writing stands out to me because it’s so rich in detail, and it focuses on historical settings and characters you wouldn’t necessarily think about. The Dutch Girl is set in New York on an estate held by a Dutch “patroon”. Unlike most of America at this time, workers don’t own their own land. The British control Manhattan, the Rebels hold West Point, and the Dutch patroons reign in feudal splendor over their vast Hudson River Valley estates. But the roads are ruled by highwaymen. Gerrit Van Haren, the dispossessed heir of Harenwyck, is determined to reclaim his inheritance from his decadent brother, Andries, even if that means. The Dutch Girl is another interesting historical fiction story by Donna Thorland with a twist of romance. The story is set during the American Revolution where some Dutch land holders possessed large tracks of land along the Hudson River. These large estates prospered on the backs of poor tenants who work the land.
