The story revolves around Geertje, a young girl preparing to leave her rural home for a new life in the city of Rotterdam. In the process, she experiences a mix of emotions, from excitement to nostalgia, as she navigates her relationships with her family and friends in her hometown. The opening of the novel introduces Geertje's change from her secluded village life to the bustling environment of the city. We see her hurriedly preparing to leave home, interacting with her loving but worried grandparents. The narrative captures her anxious sentiments as they express their concerns for her well-being, particularly during a poignant dinner with heartfelt prayers and blessings before her departure. There is a sense of longing for the past as Geertje bids farewell to her familiar surroundings while also dealing with the uncertainty of her new chapter. The reader is drawn into her complexity of feelings, including a sense of liberation and a hint of trepidation as she steps into a world filled with possibilities — and dangers.
