北海之心：阿姆斯特丹的光荣与哀伤

The book weaves through different eras of Amsterdam’s history—I'm curious whether this focus was planned from the start or developed during research.

The vivid descriptions really brought out the city's personality—I'd love to hear if others felt a stronger connection to Amsterdam after reading.

It’s impressive how the book maintains accuracy while also being so accessible. What do you think was the key to striking that balance?
