About this audiobook
He thought he was planting a future. Instead, he buried everything he had.
Pieter van Haaren is a careful man, cloth merchant, devoted husband, steady hands in an uncertain world. But in the winter of 1636, Haarlem is no longer ruled by reason. It is ruled by flowers.
Tulip bulbs, once humble garden fare, now fetch fortunes. Houses are sold, dowries exchanged, reputations shattered, all for the promise of a plant that may never grow. Pieter resists. Until he doesn’t.
One bulb. One name. Amalia.
As the tulip market soars, so does Pieter’s ambition. What begins as a single speculative trade spirals into a fever dream of futures contracts, phantom profits, and paper fortunes. But spring is coming. And when the frost thaws, so do the illusions.
Based on the true events of the Dutch Tulip Bubble, Amalia is a haunting tale of beauty, greed, and the high price of chasing transformation.
Some flowers are worth losing a fortune for.
