The Girl at the Window - Frank Peters

A forgotten name in the archives. A daring escape in the 17th century. A secret that echoes through time.

Rick Walters, an amateur genealogist, stumbles upon a curious name while doing research: Marie de la Motte. His discovery leads him deep into the archives—and into the remarkable tale of a young woman who, in 1666, helps Willem Bolnes—brother-in-law of the famous painter Johannes Vermeer—escape from a harsh workhouse in Delft. But where do they go? And what secret do they carry?



By coincidence, Rick teams up with Sandra Mulder, a popular TV presenter driven by ambition and eager to prove herself. Together, they follow Marie and Willem’s trail across history, uncovering truths more thrilling—and dangerous—than they ever expected.

A gripping historical novel bridging past and present, The Girl at the Window is a story of mystery, discovery, and untold legacies.
